The number of samples used were 84 academics scattered in Indonesian public universities. Data collection was carried out by using questionnaires.

The results of study indicate that GHRM not only has a positive, significant influence on employee’s health, well-being and productivity, but also improving the quality of work of employees in public universities. In addition, this study recommends for further research to in-depth investigation and sufficient sample size related to the role of GHRM, QWL, and productivity by employing a qualitative approach. Public university organization should focus on creating environments where employees feel valued and supported in order for them to be more productive. This can be done through offering flexible working hours, green recruitment, green training etc. Secondly, organizations should ensure that they are taking into account the environmental, well-being, social, and economic impacts when making HR policies. By implementing green policies such as energy conservation measures, investing in employee development programs, and promoting diversity in the workplace, organizations can create a more sustainable workplace that benefits both the environment and its employees.
