Abstract

Bu çalışmada yeşil tedarikçi ve yeşil müşterilere ait bilgi düzeylerinin örgütlerin yeşil performansları üzerindeki etkisi ve bu ilişkide yeşil bilgi sitemlerinin rolü ele alınmıştır. Araştırmada dört hipotez geliştirilmiştir. Araştırma Bursa’da faaliyet gösteren tekstil firmaları üzerinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Ağustos-Eylül 2022 tarihleri arasında 495 adet anket başarıyla toplanmıştır. Yeşil tedarikçi ve yeşil müşteri bilgi düzeyleri örgütsel yeşil performans üzerinde pozitif ve anlamlı etkiye sahiptir. Yeşil bilgi sistemleri yeşil tedarikçi bilgisi ile yeşil örgütsel performans arasında tam aracılık etkisine sahiptir. Fakat yeşil bilgi sistemleri yeşil müşteri bilgisi ile yeşil örgütsel performans arasında kısmı aracılık etkisine sahiptir.

The Mediating Role of Green Information Systems in the Relationship Between Green Supplier-Customer Knowledge and Organisational Green Performance: An Empirical Analysis in the Textile Industry

Abstract

This study discusses the effect of knowledge levels of green suppliers and customers on the green performance of organisations and the role of green information systems in this relationship. Four hypotheses were developed in the study. The research was carried out on textile companies operating in Bursa, Türkiye. Between August and September 2022, 495 surveys were collected. Green supplier and green customer knowledge levels have a positive and significant effect on organisational green performance. Green information systems fully mediate between green supplier knowledge and green organisational performance. However, green information systems partially mediate between green customer knowledge and organisational performance.

Keywords
