Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Green transition is probably one the most relevant concerns of nowadays’ societies. The issue has been gathering consideration of the scientific field of human resources management (HRM), with the specific concern of understanding in what way may HR managers deal with the complexity of supporting efficient action towards the stimulation of workers’ green transition behaviors and attitudes in workplaces in alignment with productivity demands of business endeavors. Due to the relevance of the subject, the scientific research topic of sustainability in human resources management (SHRM) is significantly growing in the field of HRM literature. Nevertheless, the complete assessment of SHRM’s effects on workplaces is currently ongoing, especially regarding the influence of SHRM over relevant workers’ attitudes and behaviors characterizing the quality of the worker–organization relation.
This Special Issue is directed towards the gathering of scientific contributions aiming at clarifying and adding to existing research important clarifications regarding the nature of the influence of SHRM, green HRM, sustainable organizational cultures, or sustainability in Leadership over relevant workers’ attitudes and behaviors supporting green transition in workplaces.
