Abstract :

In today’s fast-paced world, organizations serve as the driving force of society, playing a pivotal role in shaping the future of the world. On the other hand, the environment, as a precious heritage for future generations, faces serious challenges. In this context, educational organizations, as institutions that nurture the future builders of society, have a double responsibility for environmental health and improving the quality of life of individuals. Accordingly, this study aims to design and validate an organizational health model based on green culture in educational organizations. This study is applied in terms of its objective that was carried out with a qualitative method. Also, in terms of the method and time period of data collection, it is a cross-sectional survey research. The research population included 15 empirical and theoretical experts in the field of study. Data collection tools consisted of semi-structured interviews. The method of content analysis and interpretive structure modeling was used to analyze the data. The interview results were analyzed using thematic analysis, and thematic analysis was based on Clark and Brown's method, including basic, organizing, and pervasive themes. The interview transcripts were previously imported into MAXQDA software as text files. The findings are expected to assist managers and policymakers in educational organizations in adopting appropriate strategies to enhance organizational health and foster a green culture.
