Araştırmanın temel konusu, spor ve sağlık hizmeti
çalışanı 60 kadın ve 80 erkek katılımcının yeşil davranışlarının ve çevresel
tutkularının birbirlerine olan etkisinin belirlenmesidir. Araştırma verileri
demografik sorular ve yeşil davranış ve çevresel tutku ölçekleri aracılığıyla
elde edildi. Elde edilen veriler açıklayıcı ve doğrulayıcı faktör analizine
tabi tutulmuş ve doğrulanan model üzerinde çevresel tutkunun yeşil davranışa
olan etkinin belirlenmesinde yapısal eşitlik modellemesi kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın
bulgularına göre, çevresel tutkunun yeşil davranışları yerine getirilmesinde
önemli bir rol oynadığı ve üzerinde anlamlı ve olumlu etkiye sahip olduğu
tespit edilmiştir. İşletmeler, çalışanların psikolojik ihtiyaçlarını karşılamak
için yatırımlar, kişilerarası ve teknik iş becerilerini geliştirmek için eğitim
yoluyla olumlu bir çalışma ortamı yaratabilecektir. Yine araştırma, bir
çalışanın çevresel aktivizm, sürdürülebilirlik ve korunma konusunda olumlu
duyguları varsa çevre yanlısı davranışlarını artırılabileceğini göstermektedir Sonuç

açıklanmasında çevresel tutkunun zorunlu rolünü göstererek literatüre katkıda
sağlamaktadır.
