ABSTRACT:- This study examines the relationship between sustainable business practices and employee outcomes, with particular emphasis on the enabling role of Artificial Intelligence (AI). As sustainability and digital transformation become central to organizational strategy, limited research has explored how AI-enabled sustainability influences employee motivation and engagement, especially in emerging market contexts. Addressing this gap, the study employs a quantitative research design using survey data collected from 110 employees. Statistical techniques, including correlation and regression analysis, are applied to test the proposed relationships.
The findings reveal that sustainable business practices have a significant positive impact on both employee motivation and engagement. Furthermore, key organizational drivers—namely regular feedback, employee willingness, and employee satisfaction—are identified as critical factors strengthening sustainability outcomes. Importantly, the study conceptually positions AI as an enabling layer that enhances these relationships by facilitating real-time communication, continuous feedback, and data-driven decision-making.
This research contributes to the literature by integrating sustainability, human resource management, and AI within a unified framework. The findings offer practical implications for organizations seeking to improve employee performance while advancing sustainability through technology-driven strategies.
