Abstract

This descriptive study aimed to examine the green organizational behaviors of healthcare workers at a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Platinum certified private hospital located on the European side of Istanbul. The study targeted the entire population without sampling, and data were collected using a two-part survey comprising a Demographic Information Form and the Green Organizational Behavior Scale (GOBS). Data collection was conducted face-to-face between December 2022 and March 2023 using paper-based questionnaires. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test revealed that the data did not follow a normal distribution; thus, Mann-Whitney U, Kruskal-Wallis H, and Spearman’s rho correlation tests were used for analysis. The findings indicated statistically significant differences in GOBS scores based on gender, green organizational training status, institutional tenure, education level, and professional groups (p<0.05). In contrast, age and years of professional experience were not associated with significant differences in GOBS scores. The overall reliability coefficient of the scale was found to be high (α=0.886). The results suggest that organizational green behavior attitudes are influenced by factors such as education, profession, and length of experience.

Özet

Bu çalışma, İstanbul Avrupa yakasında Enerji ve Çevresel Tasarımda Liderlik (LEED) platinum sertifikalı özel bir hastanede görev yapan sağlık çalışanlarının yeşil örgütsel davranışlarını incelemeyi amaçlayan tanımlayıcı türde bir araştırmadır. Çalışmada evrenin tamamına ulaşılmaya çalışılmış ve veri toplama aracı olarak Tanıtıcı Bilgi Formu ile Yeşil Örgütsel Davranışlar Ölçeği (YÖDÖ) kullanılmıştır. Veriler, Aralık 2022 - Mart 2023 tarihleri arasında yüz yüze anket yöntemiyle toplanmıştır. Verilerin normal dağılmadığı Kolmogorov-Smirnov testi ile belirlenmiş ve bu nedenle analizlerde Mann-Whitney U, Kruskal-Wallis H ve Spearman korelasyon testleri kullanılmıştır. Araştırma bulgularına göre cinsiyet, yeşil örgüt eğitimi alma durumu, kurumda çalışma süresi, eğitim düzeyi ve meslek gruplarına göre YÖDÖ puanlarında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark bulunmuştur (p<0,05). Buna karşılık, yaş ve meslekte çalışma süresine göre YÖDÖ puanlarında anlamlı fark saptanmamıştır. Ölçeğin genel güvenirlik katsayısı yüksek bulunmuştur (α=0,886). Sonuçlar, örgütsel yeşil davranış tutumlarının eğitim, meslek ve deneyim süresi gibi faktörlerle ilişkili olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır.
