Abstract :
Purpose: The purpose of this research is to present a causal model effective on environmental policy based on green culture in the organization of agricultural jihad. Therefore, if we want to solve environmental problems in the Agricultural Jihad Organization, it is of great importance to examine the causal factors affecting environmental policymaking based on green culture in this organization.
Research methodology: The research method was a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods, and according to the qualitative data collection in the first stage and its validation in the next stage, it was of a mixed exploratory type. The statistical community in the qualitative part was all executive and academic experts, both at the qualitative level and at the quantitative level (260 people). In the qualitative part, judgmental and snowball sampling was used, and theoretical saturation was obtained by interviewing 19 people from the considered samples. The sampling method in the quantitative part was stratified and available. The data collection tool was in the first stage of the interview, and after coding and identifying the themes and indicators, a questionnaire was compiled and used to validate the model. Data analysis was done in the qualitative part using thematic analysis and in the quantitative part it was done with the help of Lisrel software.
Findings: The results of thematic analysis showed that causal factors have 7 concepts and 39 codes, whose dimensions include management issues, human resources, performance evaluation, awareness, environmental attitude and commitment, education and research, economic factors and green budget, environmental problems and challenges, and sustainability based on green culture.
Originality/scientific added value: The main cause of the country's environmental policy challenges must be sought in the weak action of the Environmental Protection Agency. This organization faces challenges such as structural incompatibility with its missions and politicization in management appointments. Green culture is positively associated with environmental responsibility. Environmental policymaking is a type of policy that is effective not only in the ecological or environmental field, but also in economic, financial, political, cultural, and social categories. If we want to solve environmental problems in the Agricultural Jihad Organization, it is of great importance to examine the causal factors affecting environmental policymaking based on green culture in this organization.
