| Abstract | PurposeIn many parts of the world, labor shortages are likely to affect the activities of SMEs. Consequently, SMEs needs to adopt attractive HRM practices. This study analyzes the impact of one type of sustainable HRM (SD-HRM) on employees' attraction and retention factors such as employees' motivation, the quality of image and customer satisfaction in SMEs context. It also looks at the impact of SME managers' value-intentions, calculative (egoist-strategic) and non-calculative (altruist-institutional) on this relationship.Design/methodology/approachDrawing on part of a survey of 409 Quebec SME managers' commitment to sustainability, a mediation model is used to consider the impact of the manager's values-intentions on potential workforce attraction and retention factors.FindingsThe results show that the implementation of SD-HRM practices has a positive impact on the outcomes considered, as it was expected, but show the counterintuitive results that it is altruistic values (non-calculative), rather than egoistic values, that helps to maximize the desired effects.Practical implicationsSME managers could adopt SRHRM practices to attract and retain employees. To maximize positive impacts, they might strategically integrate this approach while remaining authentic to their altruistic values. Purely institutional intentions are insufficient. By being both personally committed and strategic, managers can improve both employee well-being and organizational performance.Originality/valueThe original aspect of this research is the integration of expectations of spin-offs (positive or neutral) in relation to SD-HRM, based on the values and intentions of SME managers. This allows to recognize the multiple profiles, justifications and objectives of SMEs, which do not form a monolithic whole and need to be understood and supported by considering their differences. |
