                            <p>Çevreci liman yönetim yaklaşımları yeşil liman kavramını ortaya çıkarmıştır. Bu çalışmanın amacı yeşil limanlarda, yeşil operasyon uygulamaları ile yeşil performans arasındaki ilişkinin ve yeşil iklimin bu ilişkideki aracılık rolünün tespit edilmesidir. Araştırmanın önemi, stratejik düzeyde yeşil liman yönetiminde yeşil operasyon uygulamalarının ve yeşil ikliminin rolü açıklanarak liman yöneticilerine yeşil limanlarda uygulanması gereken esasların ortaya koyulması oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmanın örneklem alanını Türkiye’de yeşil liman sertifikasına sahip limanlar oluşturmaktadır. Araştırma için yeşil limanlarda görev yapan 180 çalışandan Ekim-Aralık 2020 tarihleri arasında kolayda örneklem yöntemi ile anket uygulanarak veri toplanmıştır. Toplanan verilere dayalı frekans analizi, geçerlilik analizi, güvenilirlik analizi, regresyon analizleri yapılmıştır. Araştırma bulgularına göre yeşil operasyon uygulamalarının yeşil performans üzerinde istatistiksel olarak pozitif yönde etkilediği ve yeşil iklimin yeşil operasyon uygulamaları ile yeşil performans arasında kısmi aracılık etkisine sahip olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.</p></trans-abstract>

This study aims to determine the relationship between green operations practices and green performance in green ports and the mediating role of green climate in this relationship. The research&#039;s importance is to explain the role of green operation practices and green climate in green port management at a strategic level, and the principles to be applied to port managers in green ports. The sample of this research is the field of the port harbor with green certificates in Turkey. For the study, data were collected from 180 employees working in green ports by applying a questionnaire between October and December 2020 using the easy sampling method. Frequency analysis, validity analysis, reliability analysis, regression analysis were performed based on the collected data. According to research findings, it was concluded that green operation practices have a statistically positive effect on green performance and that green climate has a partial mediating effect between green operation practices and green performance.</p></abstract>
