Abstract
This research emphases on examining the effect of paperless HR practices, made conceivable by digitalization, on organizational sustainability within the IT industry in Bangalore. In light of intensifying environmental realization and increased demands for sustainable organizational behaviour, green HRM has become substantial. Digital HR systems that decrease dependence on paper measures facilitate such efforts suggestively.
The research aims to explore employee awareness about green HRM, the application of paperless HR practices, and their effects on sustainability. Based on the review of current literature, it is found that while green HRM and digital revolution have been broadly studied, there are fewer studies regarding paperless HR practices and their impact on sustainability, particularly in the IT industry.
This research is based on primary data, which was assembled from 50 IT workers in Bangalore through a structured questionnaire and a five-point Likert Scale. Based on the results obtained, it can be said that the IT workers view digital HR activities positively, with their responses suggesting that they strongly agree with digital HR’s input in minimizing paper consumption and saving resources.
From the results, it can also be said that the IT employees are largely accepting of digital HR processes, but still enjoy modest levels of understanding when it comes to the concept of Green HRM. All in all, it can be said that digital HR processes make extensive contributions to organizational sustainability.
