The survey covered small, medium, and large enterprises.ResultsThe results obtained indicate that sustainable human resource management practices are applied in the surveyed companies in all the highlighted dimensions. However, the level to which they are applied varies depending on the size of the enterprise. The differentiation concerns the environmental, economic, and strategic dimensions.
