Socially responsible human resource management, employees’ well-being and innovative work behaviour: A conceptual model

Abstract

Goal: to develop a conceptual model of the connection between socially responsible human resource management (HRM) practices, well-being-oriented HRM practices and innovative work behaviour. Methodology: the study is based on an analytical literature review concerning socially responsible HRM, employees’ well-being and innovative work behaviour. Findings: the proposed model is based on the idea that well-being-oriented HRM practices depend on socially responsible HRM practices. Well-being-oriented HRM practices, in turn, are fostering innovative work behaviour. Originality and contribution of the authors: the paper represents the first stage of the study where at the conceptual level an idea of the synergy potential between socially responsible HRM, employees’ well-being and IWB and the potential contribution of socially responsible HRM into employees’ well-being and the IWB development are argued.
