Abstract

This research aims to make a significant contribution both theoretically and practically by helping to internalize sustainability principles through human resource management in higher education institutions. This qualitative research is used in this scientific article by reviewing the literature derived from the results of related scientific articles, as well as from existing international journals with reliable sources. The results of these findings are presented and the final perspective of the researcher is given as the result of input and contribution from this article. Green HRM practices play an important role in encouraging pro-environmental behavior, both among employees and students. Integration between environmental education, green transformational leadership, and an organizational culture that supports sustainability can increase awareness and engagement in green initiatives. Although students' knowledge of the environment is quite high, there is a gap between awareness and real action. Psychological factors, such as green self-identity and a willingness to make sacrifices, play an important role in motivating pro-environmental behavior. Therefore, a more personalized and holistic approach to education is needed to overcome these obstacles.
