The Effect of Top management commitment on Operational Performance: The Mediating Role of Green Production
Keywords:
top management commitment, manufacturing industry, green production, operational performanceAbstract
The research examined the effect of top management commitment (TMC) on operational performance and the mediating effect of green production. The study selected 219 manufacturing companies of Iraq. The result analyzed the direct effect of TMC on green production and operational performance. Also, the effect of green production on operational performance is analyzed. In addition, the mediating effect of green production between the association of TMC and operational performance analyzed. So, the direct and also indirect results found in the study were significant. This finding offers crucial understanding for managers in the manufacturing business, indicating that a strong commitment from top management and the use of green production may improve operational performance. Moreover, this study expands on the findings of prior research about the correlation between TMC and GP in enhancing OP. Therefore, this study enhances the existing research in Structural Equation Model (SCM).
