Abstract:

This research investigates how green competencies and values associated with carbon footprint directly influence sustainable performance. Additionally, it seeks to assess the indirect influence of green competencies and values concerning carbon footprint on sustainable performance, mediated by the willingness to mitigate carbon emissions. The research model was analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), and data from 269 healthcare organizations were employed for this purpose. The findings reveal several significant relationships. Firstly, Green competencies were observed to positively and significantly influence the willingness to mitigate carbon footprint. Secondly, values related to carbon footprint were also found to positively influence the willingness to mitigate carbon footprint. Furthermore, the willingness to mitigate carbon footprint was identified as a positive enhancer of sustainable performance within healthcare organizations. In terms of indirect relationships and the mediation effect of willingness to mitigate carbon footprint, the results indicate that this willingness acts as a mediator. It mediates the connection between green competencies and sustainable performance, as well as between values related to carbon footprint and sustainable performance. As a result, this study contributes theoretically to four distinct areas. Additionally, it offers practical insights for healthcare managers and policymakers. Lastly, the study suggests possible directions for future research endeavours.
