SUSTAINABLE HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT IN PAKISTANI SCHOOLS: A QUALITATIVE STUDY
Abstract
The present state of sustainable Human Resource Management (HRM) in Pakistani schools is investigated in this qualitative study. The study examines several aspects of sustainable HRM, such as Recruitment and Selection, Training and Development, Performance appraisal and compensation and benefits, and Organizational Culture, within the framework of the Pakistani educational system in the post pandemic quo with reference to perceived stakeholder satisfaction by means of reviewing related literature. The results show that implementing sustainable HRM practices in schools has both advantages and disadvantages. The positive aspects include the admirable work done to support professional growth, employee engagement, and environmental sustainability, while the negative aspects include bureaucratic obstacles and resource limitations. The research highlights the significance of sustainable human resource management (HRM) in cultivating organizational resilience and augmenting employee contentment. It also highlights the necessity of cooperative endeavors among policymakers, educational administrators, and HR specialists to formulate comprehensive approaches and regulations that endorse sustainable HRM practices across the country. Pakistani schools can improve organizational performance and make a good impact on the environment and society by adopting sustainable HRM. In order to advance sustainable HRM in Pakistan's education system and ultimately create learning environments that are healthier, more fair, and more sustainable for all parties concerned, this study provides a foundation for further research and action.
