This study is of particular importance in terms of revealing the extent to which human resources support the sustainability efforts of the business today and in the future. This study questions how sustainable quality perception can be explained in terms of the psychological well-being of male and female managers. Organizational sustainability is defined as activities to make social growth sustainable while trying to achieve corporate growth and profitability (van Marrewijk & Werre, 2003). Issues such as economic and social developments, protection of resources, globalization, health, and regional initiatives are useful in the development of sustainability (Çankır, Fındık & Koçak, 2012). In this context, organizational sustainability includes agendas such as economic development, ensuring social justice, and protecting natural resources and the environment (Hahn, Pinkse, Preuss & Figge, 2015).

Sustainable quality perception includes the extent to which employees attach importance to the sustainability activities of their businesses; and how much they include them in these activities while expressing the degree to which the organization meets the requirements of total quality management (Çankır & Eti, 2017; Çankır & Şahin, 2018; Arıkan & Çankır, 2019). For example, the extent to which managers and employees collaborate to increase success in the enterprise shows the perceived quality dimension of the sustainable quality perception (Çankır & Eti, 2017). In another example, taking into account the environmental impact in a business can reveal the perception of organizational sustainability. In the current study, the authors proposed that the perceptions of especially those at the management level regarding sustainability and quality activities may be affected by their positive and negative subjective psychological experiences and satisfaction.
