| Abstract |
The article identifies the current progression and research gaps in human resource management literature. It offers a framework for future innovative and green practices in meeting employee sustainable performance requirements for small and medium enterprises. Employee sustainable performance is crucial for small and medium enterprises to achieve sustainable development and market share for continuous growth. Hence, this article aims to adjust the triple bottom line (economic, environmental, social) sustainability concept to the quintuple bottom line (economic, environmental, social, physical, and psychological) in the context of employee that leads towards employee sustainable performance. Employee sustainable performance is based on the quintuple bottom line theoretical perspective, where innovative safety technological adoption intervenes among workplace environment, workplace health (physical, psychological), and employee sustainable performance. The article utilizes theories like self-determination, sustainable management, and conservation of resources theories to adjust the quintuple bottom line-employee sustainable performance model from a holistic angle. The outcome shows the quintuple bottom line coexistence inside the relationship of the selected constructs that hold the potential of innovation on employee sustainable performance holistically. The study configures a conceptual model for entrepreneurs and policymakers to ensure employee sustainable performance in small and medium enterprises. The article encourages and supports testing the proposed model. The conceptualization is a unique attempt to extend the current understanding of innovative safety adoption-focused on employee sustainable performance to enhance the sustainable growth process of small and medium enterprises from a holistic angle. |
