Abstract: The objective of this study was to analyse the evolutionary field of sustainable human resource management (S-(HRM)) over four strategically chosen sub-periods in order to understand its behaviour in the period from 1991 to 2024. We started by conducting a comprehensive review of research articles related to our topic, aiming to produce a scientific, accurate, and well-argued result through quantitative and empirical research, incorporating both factorial and exploratory analyses. We began by carrying out an exhaustive review of different research articles related to our topic in order to generate a scientific, truthful and argumentative result, from quantitative and empirical research, in relation to a factorial and exploratory analysis. Regarding the analysis of the period between the years chosen for this research (1991–2024), we observe that the subject analysed has gradually evolved, with an increase in publications, as evidenced in the different graphs. In turn, the analysis of the most prominent themes for the sub-periods is illustrated by their classification in strategic diagrams and structured spheres quantified in the statistical software SciMAT v1.1.06, through keywords, which is the strategy best adapted to this type of research. The analysis (keywords) configures the most important concepts of the research field.
