Managing green culture for environmental performance in smart campus transformation

ABSTRACT

The evolution of technology and information necessitates changes in the governance of higher education institutions geared more toward sustainability. An approach based on a green culture driven by collegial leadership is imperative. This research aims to present a solution for enhancing environmental performance through effective green culture management in a smart campus facilitated by Distributive Leadership. An explanatory survey was conducted among randomly selected staff, including faculty, totaling 387 participants. A structural model was constructed and examined based on data collected through a questionnaire. The research findings indicate that leaders at various levels still need to fully possess complementary abilities and characteristics that are mutually reinforcing and necessary for ensuring a transition toward a smart campus. The optimization of roles and functions of individuals in this transformative process, as a team directing the formation of a green culture, remains suboptimal. This situation results in the staff’s need for more achievement of environmental performance. In this transformative process, the role of Distributive Leadership is to shape both the green culture and environmental performance. This role embodies the concept of a smart campus that ensures a balance between integrating the Internet of Things and ethical responsibilities toward the environment.
