ABSTRACT
Green practices in educational organizations aim to promote sustainability by reducing emissions, saving resources, and developing student understanding of the environment. These organizations improve both local and global ecosystems by emphasizing energy efficiency, waste reduction, and environmentally beneficial policies. Institutional commitment, stakeholder participation, financial support, and legal frameworks are all key variables influencing this initiative. The effectiveness of green practices in education is dependent on the cooperation of many variables, resulting in a harmonic balance of environmental responsibility and educational achievement. In this research, we investigated the influencing variables of educational organizations' involvement in green practices, as well as the effect of green practices on educational organizations' competition. We established a model for evaluating the support from the government, management assistance, pressure from stakeholders, regulatory compliance, staff support, and mediation significance of green practices acceptance. A self-administered questionnaire was obtained from 420 educational organizations and the gathered data was evaluated using SmartPLS software. The research results demonstrated that top management assistance, support from the government, pressure from stakeholders, and faculty support all performed essential and substantial roles in determining the competition advantage of educational organizations, with the implementation of green practices mediating the mentioned connection. Furthermore, this research demonstrated that green practices had significance in mediating the correlation between the influencing variables and competition.
