Title: 'A complex issue: Unravelling sustainable strands of work'
Presenter: Dr David Brannon
Abstract
Sustainability has quickly become the 21st century buzzword for both academics and practitioners, not least with launching the UN SDGs. Accordingly, this has spurred on several emerging research lines, including sustainable careers, sustainable employability, sustainable HRM and sustainable talent management. Although growing work-related criticisms require attention; it has often been left without a guiding research agenda. Indeed, this has resulted in a confused theoretical landscape with interchangeable definitions, operationalizations and explanations. Notably despite their divergent literary foundations, sustainability itself has seemingly manifested itself as a universally agreed term lacking a precise meaning. This paper delineates between these four literary streams, demonstrating simultaneously their distinct contributions as well as implicit interactions. We identify sustainability as both individual and organizational agency within an ecology to be explored through a complexity lens. Through this framework we identify their tensions while delineating between their respective prisms to provide an integrated research agenda.
