Enhancing Organizational Resilience: The Strategic Role of HRM In Fostering Employee Well-Being and Mental Health—A Systematic Review
Keywords:
Human Resource Management, Employee Wellbeing, Psychological HealthAbstract
The research is a systematic review of academic literature examining Human Resource management (HRM) role in employee wellbeing and psychological health. The purpose of the review is to find out about the HRM practices that influence the wellbeing and mental conditions of employees and analyse their contribution to organisational performance. The results show that the HRM interventions such as flexible working conditions, support by managers and other employees, career growth opportunity, fairness in operations and pay, good and safe working conditions, job performance recognition and involvement in decision making contribute immensely to employee wellbeing and psychological health. These findings highlight the need to make wellness-based HRM practices to be a priority for firms to enhance overall business performance.
