Green HRM Practices In Higher Education: Promoting Sustainable Education And Sustainable Development

Abstract

This study aims to examine the influence of various dimensions of Green Human Resource Management (GHRM) practices on promoting sustainable education among faculty and staff in higher education institutions. The key dimensions considered include Workplace Practices, Performance Management, Training and Development, Employee Involvement, and Recruitment and Selection. Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) was conducted on 15 items, which successfully extracted five distinct factors corresponding to the identified GHRM dimensions. Further, multiple linear regression analysis was used to assess the impact of these factors on the dependent variable promoting sustainable education. The findings reveal that all five GHRM practices significantly and positively influence the promotion of sustainable education, with Performance Management emerging as the most influential predictor. The results underscore the strategic role of Green HRM in fostering sustainability initiatives within educational institutions and contribute valuable insights for policy-makers and administrators aiming to integrate sustainable development goals in higher education.
