The global movement around themes like sustainability on its triple bottom line and industry 4.0 allows for the establishment of a ground of connection with corporate responsibility towards society. This current research study was developed between 1 March 2019 to 2 September 2019, through a literature review involving human resources and terms related to the concept of sustainability, industry 4.0, corporate social responsibility, and the youth generation. Its target audience is the world’s youth generation. Two proposals were created after the literature review and data collection, which allowed the elaboration of “an analysis of the corporate social responsibility and the industry 4.0 with focus in the youth generation: a sustainable human resource management framework.” Regarding conclusions, the authors of this research study contribute with theoretical and practical educational purposes to insert the youth citizen into society. This contribution also involves the work of companies on planning and preparing their staffs to develop activities in the communities in their neighborhood. Future studies are stimulated, which will allow the creation of new proposals to be presented, so that the nations can incorporate their youth people on the transitional job market and have a sustainable view for the future generations.

With the escalating climate and health crises, the relevance of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), unlike its business benefits, is now ever more evident. Hence, the purpose of this paper is to synthesize and assess the extant literature on the topic of the Human Resource Management (HRM) benefits of CSR so as to provide for a better understanding of this topic. Methodology. The paper is a review of the 1. theoretical frameworks, 2. descriptive research examining employees’ perceptions of and attitudes towards CSR, 3. empirical studies aimed at establishing a causal relationship between CSR and different organizational benefits in the area of human resource management, as well as 4. meta-analytical studies. A range of online databases were searched to collect research papers from various journals and market research publications. Findings. The results show that CSR derives different desirable organizational outcomes such as employee attraction, increased job satisfaction, increased work engagement, employee loyalty and organizational citizenship behavior. Two broad categories are drawn, namely, external (directed towards outside the company) and internal (directed towards the employees) CSR benefits, mainly based on the different theoretical frameworks used to explain their link. Moreover, a lack of research in the developing countries is identified which calls for further inquiry to account for contextual peculiarities which might impact on the CSR practice, perceptions and/ or outcomes in this region. Implications. This paper will be useful for scholars to analyze the current nature of academic research in this area and will provide an added advantage to managers for understanding the impact of CSR activities on employees’ attitudes and behaviors. Value/ originality. To the author’s best knowledge, this is the first literature review on different HRM benefits of both internal and external CSR, and it provides a bibliography of academic literature from 1977 to 2020.

Sustainable organizational achievement of firms is the dominant approach in today’s world, with an inclination on improving profitability, social condition, and a healthy environment. Based on ability, motivation, opportunity (AMO), and stakeholder theories, this study explored the green human resource management (GHRM) and corporate social responsibility (CSR) mechanism towards sustainable performance achievement. A structured questionnaire survey from 305 samples was appropriate for the quantitative study on this research. Moreover, widely used structural equation modeling and analysis of moment structures (AMOS) was used to analyze the proposed structural model of the study. Findings from the study added significance to all posited hypotheses and validated the study model. The current study added literature to the body of knowledge on green human resource management practices and corporate social responsibility in the pursuit of improved performance towards society, the environment, and sustainability of construction firms. For future studies, the inclusion of industries such as transportation-based industries and manufacturing companies that contribute to development should be considered for broad learning.
