In order to move toward sustainability, organizations need an increasingly constructive transition on sustainable development to create synergies and develop new solutions that the development of human resource is required to make and it is considered as the first step in this path.

There are limited studies investigating what organizational members in the sports center perceive about a sustainable development and to be more exact, there are even far less previous studies that have addressed the issue of sustainability from the perspective of main human resources, as one of the most important stakeholders of organization. This study concentrates on GHRM that could assist with organizational sustainability through the alignment of the human resource management practices and its objective is to identify and classify of GHRM practices with exploratory factor analysis on a pilot study with 97 respondents from JDT football team members to place sustainability in this large public sports-intensive center in southern Malaysia.
