Abstract

In changing organizational landscapes today, sustainability goes beyond just environmental issues to very deeply consider an individual's values, mindset, and well-being. This research attempts to view sustainability psychology as a lens to explain employee behaviour and to put forward the strategic role of HR practices in building just and diverse workplaces. With corporations now attempting to weld purpose with performance, behavioural sustainability is increasingly becoming an important area from an enduring success point of view. Hence, the intention is to give perspective on the psychological factors of employees-orientation, motivation, emotional states, and attitude-that ensure
ethical and sustainable organizational behaviour in the organization. Furthermore, the study examines human resource interventions such as training, rewards, health promotion, and diversity practices that affect sustainable behaviour outcomes. A survey questionnaire was also developed and administered on employees of various industries and demographics. Descriptive statistics will be used to analyse the data and to offer such behaviour patterns and demographic measures meaningful for the study. Inferential statistical analyses will then be carried out to confirm correlations between the variables, probably including the chi-square and non-parametric methods. Furthermore, a
ranking approach will be carried out to ascertain the human-behaviour-based best HR practices towards sustainability. The study will contribute to knowledge of sustainable human resource management with practical evidence-based facts. The study's key conclusions will help guide HR practitioners in adopting humane strategies that not only have a focus on productivity but are also emotionally caring, inclusive, and morally sustainable.
