Integrating sustainability practices into talent management: Theoretical perspectives

Abstract

Abstract

In a context where sustainability is becoming a strategic priority, integrating sustainable practices into talent management is crucial to improving organizational effectiveness while supporting ecological and social objectives. This theoretical study explores the alignment of sustainability practices with talent management strategies, highlighting challenges and opportunities. Drawing on a rigorous literature review, we analyze the interactions between corporate social responsibility and sustainable human capital management. Contingency theory guides us to recognize that the effectiveness of these practices is highly dependent on the specific organizational context, underlining the need to adapt talent management strategies to the particular environmental, technological and cultural conditions of each company. On this basis, we propose a conceptual framework that optimizes this integration, highlighting how sustainable practices can enrich the process of talent attraction, retention and development. In conclusion, the article proposes directions for future research to validate and enrich the proposed model, in order to help organizations, maximize the potential of sustainable talent management.
