Abstract

This research aims to explore the degree of sustainable development goals (SDGs) integration in Nepalese enterprises’ human resource management (HRM) systems. It is exploratory research that applies both qualitative and quantitative techniques. The research indicates that although some SDGs’ supporting activities are undergoing in enterprises, they are unaccounted for and not reported. Despite some of the enterprises’ activities having HRM practices to support SDGs 1, 2, 8, and 12, they do not cascade from top-level objectives, strategies, and planning. A holistic perspective of sustainable human resource management (SHRM) is required to mitigate future environmental, social, and economic challenges. Regarding the implications of the research, this research provides a number of trailing dots to enterprises and researchers that need to be filled by drawing a line. Since the concept of sustainability is understood just in the form of corporate social responsibility in Nepalese enterprises, the responses of the respondents were difficult to comprehend in the form of sustainability to solve the SDGs-related challenges. No research has been conducted in the past in the field of sustainable HRM in Nepalese enterprises. Therefore, an additional novelty that can be derived from this research could be beneficial for other low- and middle-income countries.
