Change management in organizations pursuing sustainable development requires an integrated approach that takes into account individuals’ psychological responses, needs, concerns, and values. Only when an ESG strategy is met with genuine engagement from employees and leaders can lasting outcomes be achieved. Therefore, further interdisciplinary research and the development of practices based on positive psychology, emotional safety, and participatory communication are recommended. An important aspect is also the role of HR in integrating environmental strategies with organizational goals, which can be implemented through so-called Green HRM and Sustainable HRM. Future research should also address the evaluation of the impact of such initiatives on organizational culture, employee identification, and their long-term commitment to the change process.
