The pursuit of organizational sustainability has expanded significantly in the digital era, encompassing not only environmental and economic dimensions but also the psychological and social sustainability of human capital. Rapid digital disruptions have transformed work processes, intensified performance expectations, and altered work–life boundaries, often resulting in technostress and employee burnout. This paper develops a doctoral-level conceptual analysis of sustainable management practices by integrating Human Resource Management (HRM), digital transformation, technostress, and work–life balance into a unified framework. Drawing upon established theories, empirical findings, and institutional evidence, the study argues that sustainable organizations are those that adopt human-centered digital strategies supported by sustainable HRM practices. The paper contributes to sustainability literature by proposing a multi-level integrative model suitable for future empirical validation.
