The Role of HR Management Practices in the 5.0 Era on Employee Readiness to Change in Realizing the SDGs: A Systematic Review

Abstract

This research analyzes the impact of digital transformation in Human Resources (HR) practices on achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The main focus of the research is on the use of digital technologies in digital recruitment, training and leadership, and how these practices contribute to social inclusion, resource efficiency and work sustainability. The aim of this research is to explore the relationship between the application of technology in HR and the achievement of SDG 5 (gender equality), SDG 8 (decent work and economic growth), and SDG 12 (responsible consumption and production). Using a literature study approach, the research results show that digital-based HR practices support more inclusive recruitment, reduce the use of physical resources, and improve employee work-life balance. These digital practices also increase operational efficiency while promoting social and environmental sustainability. The implications of this research suggest companies should better integrate technology in HR practices to achieve broader sustainability goals, both from a social and environmental perspective.
