Abstract :
The main goal of this research was to present a model of green governance with a sustainable development approach based on the fuzzy Delphi technique, which is considered mixed research in terms of its practical purpose and based on the method of data collection. The qualitative part included 12 experts who were selected by purposeful sampling. In the qualitative part, fuzzy Delphi technique was used to examine the most important components and indicators. The sample of the quantitative part was the experts and managers of hospitals in Kerman, who were selected as a sample of 384 people using Cochran's formula and by simple random method. The tool for collecting data in the qualitative part was a semi-structured interview, and in the quantitative part, a researcher-made questionnaire based on the qualitative part. Data analysis was done in the qualitative part by inductive content analysis using MaxQDA software and in the quantitative part using AMOS software. The final results of the research showed that the environmental, governance and social dimensions are the most important bases for green governance in the health system. The environmental dimension includes the components of renewable energy, reducing resources, environmentally friendly products, natural losses, greenhouse gas emissions, and pollution and waste. The social dimension includes health and safety components, social and political partnerships, human rights, human resource management, patient satisfaction and community relations. Also, the governance dimension includes the components of shareholder rights, corporate governance, risk and opportunity management, and ethics in business.
