Abstract:
University structure has become a key issue in leading the community and the university toward achieving the goals of  sustainable development. Therefore, determining the current state of GM in the universities and identifying its elements can help universities in developing activities related to GM. Hence, the purpose of this study is to determine the current indicators of GM at Razi University and then to identify the factors affecting its development from the perspective of staff and faculty members of this university (N = 965). therefor, using the proportional assignment sampling method (based on gender and degree), 250 individuals were selected as the statistical sample. The data collection tool was a researcher-made questionnaire which its validity and reliability was confirmed by calculating the "Content Validity Ratio", Average Variances Extracted (AVE), Composite Readability (CR), and Cronbach's alpha. Data were analyzed by using Smart-PLS and SPSSWin20 software. The findings show that Razi University focuses on land and building, waste and recycling, and water and energy dimensions of GM. In contrast, less attention has been paid to the educational and research dimensions. Findings from exploratory factor analysis showed that a total of eight factors effect the development of GM in the university which account for 54.717% of the total variables affecting GM in Razi University. These factors respectively were: 1) Strategy and university culture, 2) Environmental pressures (legal, imitation, and normative pressures), 3) Education and capabilities of academic actors, 4) Values of actors, 5) Attitudes of stakeholders towards GM, 6) Institutional cooperation, 7) Assessment and reporting, and 8) Culture making.
