Abstract

This study explores the impact of sustainable Human Resource Management (HRM) practices on employee satisfaction within power distribution companies, using an empirical case study approach. Sustainable HRM practices, including initiatives for employee well-being, work-life balance, and environmentally conscious work environments, are increasingly important for enhancing organizational performance and employee morale. By examining a selected power distribution company in India, this research analyzes data collected through surveys and interviews with employees and HR personnel to assess the relationship between sustainability-oriented HRM and employee satisfaction. Quantitative analysis reveals that sustainable HRM practices significantly improve job satisfaction, fostering increased motivation, loyalty, and a positive workplace culture. Furthermore, the findings underscore the importance of aligning HRM strategies with sustainability goals to promote long-term employee retention and productivity. The study provides insights into how power distribution companies can incorporate sustainable HRM practices to not only meet environmental and social objectives but also improve employee outcomes. These findings contribute to the ongoing discourse on sustainable HRM, offering practical recommendations for HR professionals and management in the energy sector seeking to enhance employee satisfaction through sustainabilityfocused initiatives.This study explores the impact of sustainable Human Resource Management (HRM) practices on employee satisfaction within power distribution companies, using an empirical case study approach.
