Abstract

This study examines the relationship between the adoption of green production processes and green behavior intention and explores how demographic characteristics influence this relationship. The adoption of green production process dimension includes life cycle assessment, green purchasing, and the reduce, reuse, recycle, while green behavior intention is examined through eco-initiative, eco-helping, and eco-civic behaviors. Such relations still needed to be investigated in developing countries such as Türkiye. Data was collected through a structured survey with participation of 385 employees working in textile manufacturing firms located in the Gaziantep region which has a significant impact on the machine-made carpet sector. Structural equation modeling was used to test the proposed relationships. Results reveal that green production process adoption significantly predicts green behavior intention. The study also finds that demographic factors serve as moderators in the link between institutional sustainability practices and individual behavioral intentions. This relationship is stronger among older and more experienced employees. This research contributes to literature by providing empirical evidence on the human-originated factors that shape the effectiveness of organizational green endeavors. The findings offer practical guidance for organizations seeking to align environmental strategies with human resource policies to enhance employee contribution to sustainable practices.
