Abstract

This paper investigates the impact of effective leadership on sustainable performance of higher education in Indonesian based on IKU (Main Indicator) mediated green human resource management. Productivity of Indonesian higher education graduates in ASEAN countries still needs to be improved such as the learning environment, research outcomes, students and research, and knowledge transfer. College leader cannot directly boost organisational performance but through the change of employees’ attitude and behaviour. The collected data from 150 respondents of five universities in Indonesia. Data then analysed with Partial Least Square (PLS-SEM). Based on data analysis, first hypothesis supported that effective leadership does not have direct effect on sustainable performance. However, the second hypothesis accepted that Effective leadership has significant direct impact on green human resource management. The third hypothesis also accepted that Green human resource management has a significant direct impact on sustainable performance. And the fourth hypothesis also has a significant indirect impact on sustainable performance through green human resource management. Accordingly, Effective Leadership should execute policies to improve higher education performance effectively through changes in attitudes and behaviour of human resources. This manuscript contributes to the science circular of leadership and impetus for improving sustainable higher education performance in Indonesia.
