چکیده مقاله :
This article investigates the implementation of Integrated Environmental Management Systems (IEMS) in the Assaluyeh Oil Field and their influence on promoting human resource sustainability. The study highlights the dual challenges of environmental management and human resource development in one of Iran's leading gas extraction sites. Emphasizing interdisciplinary approaches, the research articulates how IEMS enhances operational efficiencies, improves worker safety, and elevates employee engagement. Data from safety records indicate a 92% reduction in the Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR) and significant increases in employee satisfaction scores, from 3.4 to 4.5, following IEMS adoption linked to ISO 14001 certification. The findings demonstrate that stakeholder collaboration including management, employees, local authorities, and community members was critical in overcoming logistical obstacles and cultural resistance. This analysis contributes to the broader discourse on sustainable human resource practices within the oil and gas sector, indicating that IEMS can serve as a transformative tool that aligns operational objectives with social and environmental responsibilities. The research not only provides insights for future policy implementations in the Assaluyeh Oil Field but also offers a blueprint for similar sectors aiming to leverage IEMS for enhanced sustainability outcomes.
