Fostering Sustainable Workplace Wellbeing through Responsible Leadership via lens of Signalling Theory: Mediating Effect of Employee Oriented HRM in Banking Sector of Pakistan

Abstract

The well-being of employees should not be considered solely an HR issue but rather an important ethical and strategic priority for businesses in order to achieve long-lasting organizational resilience and legitimacy. Over the last decade, there has been a movement away from viewing employee well-being as an independent responsibility of the employee to being an organizational responsibility that is tied to corporate ethics, stakeholder expectations and the creation of sustainable value (Bocean et al., 2022). The UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (in particular, Goal 3: Good Health and Well-Being and Goal 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth) indicate that organizational practices should promote employee well-being and dignity in the workplace as part of the higher goal of achieving global sustainability.
