Decent Work, Sustainable Development Goals, Social Sustainability, EmploymentAbstract
Numerous prior researchers have utilized various variables to substantiate their findings, given the inconsistent conceptualization of decent work across various dimensions. This paper seeks to introduce a conceptual framework for examining the correlation between the pillars of decent work and social sustainability. Employing the lens of PWT, the study uncovers that the four pillars of decent work (employment creation, social protection, rights at work, and social dialogue) significantly impact social sustainability. Future research is recommended to delve into the interplay of the psychology of working, as these factors are anticipated to affect decent work.
