EXAMINING THE RELATIONSHIP OF GREEN ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIORS WITH GENERAL PERFORMANCE

Öz

In today's business world, environmental responsibility and sustainability are gaining more importance day by day. Green organizational behaviors are an important tool for businesses to increase their environmental performance, energy and resource efficiency, and fulfill their social responsibilities. In this research, it is aimed to understand the green organizational behaviors of community pharmacy employees, such as environmental sustainability, recycling and energy saving, and to discover the relationship between these green organizational behaviors and general performance. In this context, the data set used in the research was accessed through a survey. In order to achieve the purpose of the research and to carry out the applications ethically, the necessary approvals were obtained from the responsible authors of the scales used, Ankara Chamber of Pharmacists, and Adıyaman University Social and Human Sciences Ethics Committee. Research surveys were applied face to face, between 09.03.2024 and 17.04.2024, to 171 community pharmacies operating in the Keçiören district of Ankara, selected by simple random method. SPSS 22.0 package program was used in the analysis of the obtained data set. Cronbach's Alpha value of the research questions was calculated as 0.925. Since the data did not show normal distribution (p<0.01), nonparametric tests were used to test the research hypotheses. As a result of the analysis, it was observed that there was a moderate positive relationship between the levels of environmental sensitivity, environmental participation, economic sensitivity, and technological sensitivity, which are the sub-dimensions of green organizational behavior, and general performance. Moreover, when the analysis results were evaluated together, it was observed that the green organizational behavior levels of community pharmacy employees did not differ according to sociodemographic characteristics, but their general performance levels varied greatly according to sociodemographic characteristics.
