Abstract

Background: Green intellectual capital offers the opportunity to embrace environmentalism in the whole organizational management to achieve a competitive edge. Organizational environmental performance reflects the effects that organizational activities generate on the natural environment and demonstrates the degree to which organizations are committed to eco-friendly actions to protect the natural environment. Aim: To investigate the relationship between green intellectual capital and organizational environmental performance. Design: A descriptive correlational research design was used in the study. Setting: This study was conducted at Fayoum Health Insurance Hospital, Fayoum Governorate, Egypt. Subjects: All nursing personnel (N=195) at Fayoum Health Insurance Hospital. Tools: Two tools were used for data collection, Tool 1: Green Intellectual Capital Questionnaire, Tool 2: Organization Environmental Performance Questionnaire. Results: Three fifths of studied nurse managers, and more than half of studied staff nurses had a positive perception about green intellectual capital. Furthermore, half of studied nurse managers and less than half of staff nurses had a high level of organizational environmental performance. Conclusion: There was a highly significant positive correlation between perception of nursing personnel about green intellectual capital and organizational environmental performance with p-value= 0.00. Recommendation: Design a clear environmental strategy in strategic planning to guide hospitals’ environmental performance. Design green rewards and compensation strategy based on organizational environmental performance. In addition, conduct a training program for nursing personnel about developing their green competencies in healthcare.
