Abstract: The adoption of Green Human Resource Management (GHRM) practices in educational institutions has gained increasing attention as universities and colleges strive to integrate sustainability into their operations. This study explores the key factors that influence teachers' preferences for GHRM practices, with special reference to colleges under Calicut University. The research investigates how these factors shape teachers ' attitudes toward sustainable HRM practices by drawing on various motivators such as environmental awareness, personal values, institutional support, professional development, peer influence, job satisfaction, cost-saving opportunities, and health and well-being. The findings suggest that a combination of intrinsic and extrinsic motivators, including environmental consciousness, alignment with personal values, and institutional support, play significant roles in encouraging teachers to adopt GHRM practices. Additionally, aspects like job satisfaction, professional development opportunities, and the potential for cost savings further reinforce teachers' preferences for green practices. This paper highlights the importance of fostering a supportive environment within educational institutions to promote sustainable HRM initiatives and enhance teachers' engagement with environmental goals.
