Antecedents and consequences of green public administration

Summary/Abstract: This article aims to test a model of the antecedents and consequences of green public administration. Hence, a quantitative research approach and a structured questionnaire were used to address the issue and the formulated hypotheses. The survey was conducted in Urmia, a multi-cultural and multi-ethnic city northwest of Iran. Using a multi-stage cluster sampling, a sample of 550 citizens was selected and questioned from the five districts of Urmia. The collected data were analyzed to test the hypotheses using structural equation modeling. Results indicated that green innovation, green environmental ethics, and green governance have a positive and significant effect on green public administration. In addition, a positive and meaningful impact was found between green public administration and green citizenship value, intention to participate in green city, and green social value. The study clearly revealed that green public administration as a new concept in the developments of the government has not yet been entered correctly into management and the lack of theorizing in this regard is noticeable in the world in general and in Iran in particular.
