Comments and Suggestions for Authors

There is no database of the work
We have hypotheses, conclusions but we do not have the working material
I did not understand where the impact of Sustainable Human Resource Management is examined

A rather weak paper from a scientific point of view

Reviewer 3 Report

Comments and Suggestions for Authors

The manuscript is well written in terms of clarity, form, and organization. It is an interesting and valuable addition to the body of knowledge concerning sustainable human resources management (SHRM). The methodology used is appropriate for the study and it is well described. The research design, questions, hypotheses and methods clearly stated.

The results are clearly presented textually and graphically. The discussion flows logically from the results and where appropriate it refers to the literature to show how the study adds value to the existing body of knowledge.

However, given that one key finding is the importance of considering national culture, particularly cultural tightness-looseness, in shaping the effectiveness of SHRM practices, it would have been useful in the literature review to show how the 26 different countries from which participants were drawn differ on the tightness-looseness cultural scale. A classification of the countries according to tightness-looseness would have been useful to demonstrate how national culture influences SHRM practices.
