The role of responsible HRM in enhancing employee well-being

This study conducts a systematic literature review to explore the mechanisms and research progress regarding the impact of Responsible Human Resource Management (RHRM) on Employee Well-Being (EWB). Following the SPAR-4-SLR structured protocol, articles published in Q1 and Q2 journals from the Scopus and Web of Science databases were rigorously screened. The Theory-Context-Characteristics-Methodology (TCCM) framework was applied to integrate multi-dimensional knowledge. The findings reveal that RHRM positively influences EWB through mediating mechanisms such as organizational pride, organizational identification, and job satisfaction, although theoretical inconsistencies remain regarding moderating variables. Additionally, notable research gaps exist in cross-cultural comparisons, dynamic mechanisms, and intervention pathways driven by digital technologies. This study recommends that future research leverage computational social science methods, including machine learning algorithms and natural language processing, strengthen causal inference. By promoting theoretical integration and paradigm innovation, this review offers methodological insights for constructing a knowledge graph of the RHRM-EWB field and provides practical implications for designing human-centered sustainable development strategies in organizations.
