Contribution of green culture practices to achieving sustainable performance in Algeria

Abstract

Purpose. The study aims to find sustainable solutions that support the performance of organizations, especially oil companies in Algeria, which have a significant impact on the country. In addition to identifying green behaviours that support a green culture within the organization, we also determined whether they have an impact on sustainable performance in the Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) district in Djelfa (Algeria). Results. The results of the study showed that there is an impact of the green organizational culture in the LPG district in Djelfa on sustainable performance and this is at the level of significance (0.05≥α) the greener the organizational culture, the more sustainable the performance. In addition, the variable of green organizational culture accounts for 57.8 % of the variation in the sustainable performance variable. The predictive suitability (Q²) of the pathway model was 30.8 % for the sustainable performance variable in the structural model which is above zero. Scientific novelty. The novelty of our research lies in the combination of the green culture variable and the sustainable efficiency variable. The study relied on the best-known indicators that measure each variable under the study, and both the (SPSS) and (Smart PLS) program were used to obtain more reliable results. The study also focuses on stopping the marginalization of the sustainability in Algeria, especially in oil companies because they extract oil natural resources and improve them. These two processes have risks to the environment and society. We have recommended that company spread, educate and deepen its green culture and provide all necessary means to achieve sustainable performance. Practical value. It is necessary to work on creating a green culture related to preserving and respecting the environment inside and outside the organization by clarifying the customs, traditions, values and others that affect behaviour. It is necessary to develop the performance of organizations to include the aspect – economic, social and environmental. It is necessary to identify the company’s strengths and weaknesses, which it should take more into account and develop in order to be able to increase its sustainable performance. The results and recommendations presented in the paper can be published and disseminated for the benefit of companies operating in the sector and elsewhere.
