“If you want to understand and engage in the practice and scholarship of this new field of sustainable HRM, read this book. With lucid prose and strong grounding in the academic literature, Sugumar Mariappanadar provides detailed discussions of the challenges facing proponents of sustainable economic development worldwide and offers practical examples of the steps being taken to improve our common future. It’s the best book of its kind available today.” —Susan E. Jackson, Rutgers University, USA “This is a comprehensive book that will enhance your understanding and enable you to design and implement HRM practices for achieving organizational financial performance without compromising on stakeholders’ wellbeing. It illustrates various domains of Sustainable HRM with sound theories to shape HRM practices with proorganizational, social and environmental values.” —Klaus J. Zink, University of Kaiserslautern, Germany Sugumar Mariappanadar guides readers with clarity of purpose and direction through and beyond the layers of controversy – and opportunity – that HRM thinking and practices labelled as ‘sustainable’ can offer. The author’s open and engaging style draws readers in, informs them comprehensively about strategic contexts for sustainable HRM, and allows them spaces to reflect critically on their own values in relation to current HRM practice and research. With this book, Dr Mariappanadar will both prompt and satisfy the curiosity of students and of practitioners of HRM as they prepare for an increasingly complex future. —Keith Jackson, SOAS University of London, UK; Kobe University, Japan “This inspirational book makes an exciting scholarly contribution to an increasingly important debate on the intersection between the management of human resources and 1 the creation of sustainable organisations. Expertly analysed, it will appeal to students, scholars, policy makers and the wider business and social science community”. —Thomas Lange, Middlesex University, UK “Sugumar Mariappanadar has written a thoughtful and strategic book which will certainly become essential reading in its field. It marries high level incisive scholarship with enlightening cases of companies which have adopted proactive policies in term of HRM sustainability. I am sure it will generate many new ideas about the manner to sustainably conduct people management, in itself a key element in achieving global sustainability” —Philippe Debroux, Soka University, Japan 2 MANAGEMENT, WORK AND ORGANISATIONS Series editors: Gibson Burrell, School of Management, University of Leicester, UK , Manchester Business School, University of Manchester and Strathclyde Business School, University of Strathclyde, UK , Strathclyde Business School, University of Strathclyde, UK Mick Marchington Paul Thompson This series of textbooks covers the areas of human resource management, employee relations, organisational behaviour and related business and management fields.

However, I am progressively struggling with increased physical and mental tiredness, work-life imbalance due to my work related commitments to improve organizational performance. Also, I am not sure how as a non-specialized environmental management employee I can contribute to ecosystem sustainability. Hence, I more often feel that my life happiness and enjoyment are not complete. – A common dilemma encountered by employees in the modern workplace Can you or your family and friends, as employees, relate to the stated work– life–environment dilemma and the irreversible consequences the dilemma has on you, your family, the natural environment and society? Stop thinking that you and your family and friends have personally not done enough to cope with the work–life– environment dilemma. Start thinking what you, as an agent of an organization, can do more of at the organizational level to benefit the ecosystem as well as to enhance employees’ quality of life both within the workplace and outside of work. This book aims to help HR and management professionals, including academics, researchers and practitioners at all levels in an organization, to act as ‘agents’ in order to make the workplace environmentally sustainable and 19 enhance stakeholders’ (employees, their families, society etc.,) well-being while simultaneously attempting to improve organizational performance. Strategic HRM has made a significant contribution in offering a mental schema for HR and management professionals.
