2. The Interlink of SHRM, IO-P and Eco Sustainability
2.1. Sustainability
Sustainability as a perspective within organizational change is the attempt of achieving goals that promote a smooth transition. Buchanan [4] asserts that it is multifaceted and paramount, Senge [5] has described it as the dance of change” encapsulating the synergetic relationship of all variables as well as seemingly opposing/limiting factors so as to create a balance and guarantee a continued existence of all things. It has also been associated with a “built in” mentality where change constructions as perceived by workers are synonymous with relevance and rationale for continuity. According to Ford, Foster-Fishman, sustainability is the result of change or a process that leads to the “institutionalization” of new values, norms and culture translated into policies and laws [6]. To the environmentalists [7] eco sustainability is where the human ecological footprint harmoniously co-exists with other life forms as opposed to carbon sink overloading resulting in environmental externalities like extreme climatic changes. For all purposes and intents, this paper will embrace sustainability to entail the sameness of a thing or life that causes it to rediscover itself after going through a series of seasons in order to reveal different life forms through expansion; however, these expansions have always been within. Any addition thereof is a reminder; arousing desires to manifest that has always been within to allow growth, adaptation and change.
2.2. IO-P
Landy and Conte [8] define IO-P as the utilization of psychology concepts, theories, laws and principles to work related concerns. It is divided into three main branches. The first is Personnel Psychology. It deals with the office and person of the employee in matters regarding but not limited to abilities, recruitment, performance, talents, improvement, and conflict resolution among others. Secondly, Organizational Psychology (OP) is initially interested in work inspired emotions and motivation that yield the best securities for the survival of both company and employee. OP combines principles from social psychology and organizational behavior. Lastly, Human Engineering
