“…Meanwhile, Goal 9 focuses on building resilient infrastructure, promoting inclusive and sustainable industrialization, and fostering innovation. Although some scholars suggest that the nexus between SDGs and HRD remains relatively unexplored within HRD research (Cho & Hyatt, 2023), there's a discernible movement toward initiating efforts aimed at bolstering and propelling the SDGs (Alfred et al, 2020). Most importantly, the endeavor to link HRD and SDGs should not be underestimated, as promoting adherence to sustainability training and SDGs principles can enhance employee skills, knowledge, and job satisfaction, thereby bolstering HRD performance and the overall employee experience (Bilderback, 2023).…”

“…Moreover, there is a paucity of scholarly works directly linking Human Resource Development (HRD) to the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which encompass elements of human rights, equity, and environmental considerations (Zarestky & Collins, 2017). This gap in HRD is noticeable, as underscored by HRD scholars (Cho & Hyatt, 2023). Particularly, existing research on sustainability has primarily been situated within the realms of business, marketing, and management domains (Büyüközkan & Karabulut, 2018;Keeble et al, 2003).…”

Promoting sustainability creates environments for thriving while conserving resources for generations to come. Implementing sustainability practices has been increasingly emphasized, as businesses are required to go beyond their organizational boundaries and improve performance. Despite the intense interest in sustainability, its research has rarely been investigated and synthesized within the current knowledge base in the HRD field. Therefore, we aim to systematically analyze recent articles on sustainability and its relevance to HRD. We conducted a systematic review of the literature in this by following the PRISMA guidelines, and this resulted in a set of 59 articles. Our review identified several impending issues of sustainability, such as a lack of definitions, constructs, and empirical investigation of sustainability. Based on the findings, we discussed them from the recent conversations on sustainability and emphasized the role of HRD in how organizations should be based on sustainability and how to promote sustainability through integrated learning. In addition, this review delved into key strategies to foster sustainability initiatives and discussed implications for HRD practice and research.

Purpose The complex world in which we reside is calling for more critical approaches to address the precarity experienced by the most marginalized in social systems. However, human resource development (HRD) lacks empirical data to describe, define and project the objectives and future directions of Critical HRD in today’s turbulent and volatile times. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to examine the historical and contemporary progression of Critical HRD, as described by nine of its most well-known scholars. Design/methodology/approach Data were collected through semistructured interviews, and a constructivist grounded theory coding approach was applied during analysis to identify themes and patterns. Findings The findings of this study highlight the persistent scholarship versus practice divide among Critical HRD scholars, suggesting that Critical HRD may merely be an academic undertaking and something not practiced within the public domain. The authors call for an evolution of Critical HRD toward more practice- and action-oriented approaches to scholarship and teaching so that meaningful changes can take place in actual organizations and workplaces. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study was the first to empirically show that there is a real research–practice gap, particularly among Critical HRD scholars. Critical HRD scholars need to take these findings seriously as an opportunity to reflect on how they can take Critical HRD to the next level beyond academic discourse.
