The Mediating Role of Green Transformational Leadership in the Effect of Green Organizational Culture on Organizational Commitment

Öz

ABSTRACT In the previous literature, there is no similar study examining the mediating effect of green transformational leadership (GTL) on the effect of green organizational culture (GOC) on organizational commitment (OC). Thus, this study contributes to this research gap and develops a creative research framework for organizations to develop green environmental consciousness. The aim of this study is to determine the mediating effect of GTL on the effect of GOC on OC. Data was collected from manufacturing enterprises operating in Mardin province for this purpose. The data collection method was convenience sampling, which is a non-random sampling method. The valid 388 questionnaires collected from the participants were used in the analysis. Structural equation modeling (SEM) approaches were used to analyze the data. The results of the analysis indicate that GOC has a significant positive effect on OC and GTL. In addition, the study found that GTL has a partial mediating effect on the effect of GOC on OC.

Bu nedenle bu çalışma, bu araştırma boşluğunu doldurarak, işletmelere yeşil çevre bilinci geliştirmede yaratıcı bir araştırma çerçevesi geliştirmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, yeşil örgüt kültürünün örgütsel bağlılık üzerindeki etkisinde yeşil dönüştürücü liderliğin aracılık etkisinin belirlenmesidir. Bu amaç kapsamında Mardin ilinde faaliyet gösteren üretim işletmelerinden veriler toplanmıştır. Araştırmada tesadüfi olmayan yöntemlerden kolayda örneklem yöntemiyle veriler elde edilmiştir. Katılımcılardan toplanan geçerli 388 anket analizlerde kullanılmıştır. Araştırma için toplanan veriler, Yapısal Eşitlik Modellemesi teknikleri ile analiz edilmiştir. Analiz sonucunda; yeşil örgüt kültürünün örgütsel bağlılık ve yeşil dönüştürücü liderlik üzerinde pozitif yönde anlamlı etkilerinin olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
