Abstract

Socially responsible human resource management (SRHRM) is a derivative of the broader concept of corporate social responsibility (CSR), aimed at improving work experiences and meeting both personal and societal expectations. This study seeks to identify the antecedents and outcomes of SRHRM using a mixed thematic analysis approach. Data were collected from two sources: theoretical foundations and semi-structured interviews with purposefully selected experts. After data collection and theme extraction, the validity and reliability of the findings were confirmed. A relational framework was then visualized as a network of themes. Regarding the antecedents of SRHRM, 16 sub-themes were categorized into four main themes: responsible culture, responsible human resources, responsible management, and responsible work systems. Similarly, 16 sub-themes were identified for the outcomes, grouped into three main themes: societal level, organizational level, and individual level. The results indicate that with strategic planning and the provision of necessary foundations across cultural, managerial, and workforce development dimensions, SRHRM can help fulfill social expectations and contribute to organizational sustainability—effectively positioning the organization as both a responsible entity and one respected within its community.
