Abstract
A systematic review following the PRISMA guidelines, this study analyzes Scopus-indexed papers published from 2020 to 2026 in order to shed light on how digital transformation enables sustainability-oriented outcomes and whether these contributions seem rooted in organizational change rather than represent aspirational disclosures of sustainability-related information. In the initial search phase, a total of 1,208 records were identified; after screening, retrieval and eligibility assessment of these studies from both electronic databases and hand-searching, just 78 studies were included in the final synthesis. Our findings show that digital transformation drives sustainability in six main avenues—namely ESG governance, eco-innovation, decarbonization, circular economy practices, digital maturity and social sustainability. However, with digital transformation being identified as sustainability by other means, without appropriate organizational capabilities and data governance that include adequate data and analytics support for innovation routines, regulatory pressures and strategic decision-making processes to be adopted together at scale across an organization because they are complementary. Also, the review suggests that by relying heavily on a style of quantitative testing based on looking for associations between concepts in datasets empirically available, research suffers from conceptual inconsistencies and uneven coverage across empirical contexts. The review presents a new conceptualization for digital transformation as an enabler of sustainability, which comes with execution conditions and identifies future research agendas to distinguish genuine sustainability effects from the simple prominence of sustainability.
Based on the study findings, Kenyan organizations should move beyond superficial digital adoption by embedding sustainability into core strategies, supported by visible leadership commitment and strong learning cultures and policymakers should prioritize integrated green-digital standards, skills development programs, and incentives for capability building to support Kenya’s twin digital and green transitions.

Objective – This study seeks to elucidate how Green Human Resource Management (GHRM) advances organizational sustainability in the digital era, with particular emphasis on identifying the principal organizational and behavioral mechanisms by which this contribution is realized.
Design/Methodology/Approach – This study employs a systematic literature review (SLR) using the PRISMA framework. Through the identification, screening, eligibility, and inclusion stages, 18 peer-reviewed journal articles published between 2021 and 2026 were selected for analysis.
Findings – GHRM contributes to organizational sustainability through green innovation, employee green behavior, environmental commitment, and employee engagement. Green innovation emerged as the dominant mediating mechanism, while digital transformation strengthened sustainability outcomes by supporting innovation, knowledge sharing, and sustainability-oriented decision-making.
Implications – The study concludes that organizational sustainability is achieved through the interaction of GHRM, green innovation, employee behavioral mechanisms, and digital transformation. Future research should develop more integrated models to explain these relationships.

This study examines the evolution and intellectual structure of research on sustainable digital transformation in business systems, focusing on key trends, thematic clusters, and emerging directions at the intersection of digitalization and sustainability. A bibliometric analysis was conducted using data extracted from the Scopus database for the period 2010–2025. After applying explicit filtering criteria related to document type, language, subject area, publication period, and topical relevance, a final dataset of publications was analyzed. VOSviewer was used to perform co-occurrence, co-citation, and keyword network analyses, enabling the identification of major research clusters and thematic linkages. The results indicate a rapidly expanding field structured around digital transformation strategies, sustainable business models, artificial intelligence applications, circular economy integration, and governance mechanisms supporting sustainability transitions. The analysis shows a gradual shift from technology-centered digitalization toward integrated frameworks combining innovation with environmental and social sustainability objectives. The study contributes by providing a systematic map of the knowledge structure of sustainable digital transformation and by consolidating fragmented research streams. The findings offer useful insights for managers, policymakers, and researchers interested in integrating digital technologies into resilient and sustainable business models.
