Zusammenfassung: | [EN] In this paper we aim to advance the discussion on HRM¿s quest
to create value around social responsibility and environmental
sustainability. We explore the perceptions reported by Human
Resource managers in three Ibero-American countries (Spain,
the Dominican Republic and Costa Rica). We focus on the
hospitality sector, one of particular relevancy for these
countries and with significant sustainability challenges.
Relying on in-depth interviews in twenty-eight organizations
and a mixed-methods approach, we examine HR managers¿
underlying notions around social and environmental issues,
stakeholder collaboration, HRM practices, roles and internal
organization. Analysis of the interviews suggests varying
views on those dimensions, as well as identifies Active and
Advanced firms, the latter showing more commitment to
sustainability (as part of the organizational culture), usage of
HRM practices and engagement with multiple stakeholders.
From this empirical exploration and relying on current
sustainability developments, we contribute to the literature
by outlining an externally-oriented model (centred on
corporate priorities, communities¿ flourishing and ecosystems¿
resilience) aiming to advance HRM¿s engagement with
sustainability-driven agendas.
