Abstract Environmental sustainability has become an urgent priority for organizations globally. Educational institutions in particular face increasing pressures to integrate green initiatives into their human resource management (HRM) practices. This paper examines the catalytic impact of green HRM practices on educational institutions, with a focus on top-down and bottom-up approaches to driving sustainability. A conceptual framework is developed hypothesizing that both top-down green HRM practices initiated by upper management and bottom-up green HRM practices championed by employees positively impact environmental sustainability performance. A quantitative methodology is utilized, surveying HR managers at secondary schools and universities to test the hypothesized relationships. Results provide empirical support for the catalytic effect of green HRM on environmental sustainability when implemented through joint top-down and bottom-up approaches. The findings have important implications for research and practice, providing educational institutions with vital insights on leveraging green HRM policies and initiatives to drive successful sustainability outcomes.
