Abstract:
This study examined the integration of Human Resource Management (HRM) practices and technology to drive sustainable development within organizations. HRM plays a crucial role in ensuring a positive and productive work environment, fostering employee engagement, and promoting ethical practices. The study adopts the secondary method of data collection. Current trends of HRM and technology integration were explored. The study found that HRM has evolved over the years and has adopted several measures in improving its practices like developing clear data privacy policies infusing ethical AI and Algorithmic Practices; assessing societal implications of technology-driven HR practices, carrying out regular review and audits to assess their effectiveness, adherence to privacy policies as well as ethical alignment. The challenges in the infusion of technology into HRM practices, include high cost of these technologies; lack of awareness and understanding of the potential benefits of sustainable technologies and their potential benefits; resistance to change within an organization's culture hinders the successful adoption of new technologies; absence of supportive policies and regulations for the implementation of sustainable technologies. The study concludes that the evolution of human relations management practices has played a crucial role in shaping an organization's commitment to sustainable development and thus advocates for continuous and adequate training of human resources on the use of technological devices and a holistic approach that recognizes the pivotal role of human-centric values in shaping the technological landscape for sustainability.
