Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) was adopted for data analysis and hypothesis testing. Meanwhile, the data analysis tool used SmartPLS version 4. The results showed that all hypotheses proposed statistically lead to a positive and significant effect between GHRM, GPC, and SU. Practical implications—This research assisted university stakeholders in understanding that the implementation of GHRM practices, accompanied by building GPC, could effectively drive the realization of SU performance. Originality/value—References were also added regarding the identification of GPC as a mediator in the relationship between GHRM and SU. GPC, as a mediator was incorporated, affecting the relationship between the effectiveness of GHRM practices and the achievement of SU performance.
