Abstract

The attitudes and behaviors of people towards the environment are described as environmental approach. The rapid importance of the environment has triggered individuals' positive attitudes towards the environment.

This research was carried out to determine the effect of the environmental and nature protection necessity approach on green organizational behavior. Survey technique was used to obtain the data. 120 people participated in the survey conducted online for forest engineers working in the public sector. SPSS 22 program was used to analyze the data. Factor Analysis, Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal Wallis-H tests and Correlation analysis were used to analyze the data. According to the research findings, it was determined that the green organizational behaviors of forest engineers differed significantly according to their educational status.
