People-Centered Strategy in Sustainable Management: Construct Development of Professional Worker Performance in Society 5.0

In the last few decades, research related to organizational sustainability has received a lot of attention from both academics and business. One of the main reason is because organizational sustainability is seen as important aspect for long-term organizational success. However, the social or human dimensions are considered rarely discussed compared to the environmental and economic dimensions of organizational sustainability. Moving towards Society 5.0 which aims to provide a human-centered world that is sustainable, vibrant and livable, making the human dimension of organizational sustainability even more important. This study employs a literature review with theory synthesis approach and integrating between Drucker's knowledge-worker's productivity theory, Atkinson's Flexible Firm and Dawis's theory of work adjustment (PEC Theory) to propose that optimal utilization of professional worker could increase work engagement and potentially contribute to organizational and environmental sustainability in Society 5.0. Furthermore, this study provides an integrated perspective and examine the antecedents and consequences of Professional Worker Performance in Society 5.0.
