Özet:

 This research was carried out to measure the perceptions and attitudes of forest engineers working in the forestry organization about green products. In this context, the relationship between forest engineers attitudes towards sustainable forest management, perceived environmental knowledge, environmental attitude, environmental concern, certification and green products and their demographic characteristics has been examined. Questionnaire technique was used to obtain the data. Within the scope of the research, a questionnaire was applied to 119 forest engineers. Statistical package SPSS 22 program was used to analyze the data. The factor analysis results of the scales are sustainable forest management scale KMO; 0.702 alpha; 0.460, perceived environmental knowledge scale KMO; 0.741 alpha; 0.589, environmental attitude scale KMO; 0.714 alpha; 0.448, environmental anxiety scale KMO; 0.816 alpha ; 0.876, certification scale KMO; 0.838 alpha; 0.840, and attitude towards green products scale KMO; 0.780 alpha; 0.822 were found to be suitable for factorization. Mann-Whitney U, Kruskal Wallis H, Factor analysis and Correlation analysis were used in the research. According to the findings of the analysis regarding the significance of the variables according to the demographic characteristics in the research, the environmental attitudes of the participants differ according to their educational status, and the certification information differs significantly according to the working status of the participants in the certified unit. When the relationship between the variables was examined, it was found that there was a negative relationship between sustainable forest management and certification knowledge, while a positive significant relationship was found between attitude towards green products and environmental concern and certification.

 Bu araştırma orman teşkilatında çalışan orman mühendislerinin yeşil ürün konusundaki algı ve tutumlarını ölçmek amacıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bu bağlamda orman mühendislerinin sürdürülebilir orman yönetimi, algılanan çevre bilgisi, çevresel tutum, çevresel kaygı, sertifikasyon ve yeşil ürünlere karşı tutumları ile demografik özellikleri arasındaki ilişki incelenmiştir. Verilerin elde edilmesinde anket tekniğinden faydalanılmıştır. Araştırma kapsamında 119 orman mühendisine anket uygulanmıştır. Verilerin analiz edilmesinde istatistik paket SPSS 22 programından yararlanılmıştır. Ölçeklerin faktör analizi sonuçları sürdürülebilir orman yönetimi ölçeği KMO; 0,702 alfa; 0,460, algılanan çevre bilgisi ölçeği KMO; 0,741 alfa; 0,589, çevresel tutum ölçeği KMO; 0,714 alfa; 0,448, çevresel kaygı ölçeği KMO; 0,816 alfa; 0,876, sertifikasyon ölçeği KMO; 0,838 alfa; 0,840 ve yeşil ürünlere karşı tutum ölçeği KMO; 0,780 alfa; 0,822 sonuçlarının faktörleşmeye uygun olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Araştırmada Mann-Whitney U, Kruskal Wallis H, Faktör analizi ve Korelasyon analizlerinden yararlanılmıştır. Araştırmada değişkenlerin demografik özelliklere göre anlamlılığına ilişkin yapılan analiz bulgularına göre katılımcıların çevresel tutumları eğitim durumlarına göre, sertifikasyon bilgisi ise katılımcıların sertifikalı birimde çalışma durumlarına göre anlamlı farklılık göstermektedir. Değişkenler arasındaki ilişki incelendiğinde, sürdürülebilir orman yönetimi ile sertifikasyon bilgisi arasında negatif yönlü ilişki bulunurken, yeşil ürünlere karşı tutum ile çevresel kaygı ve sertifikasyon arasında pozitif yönlü anlamlı ilişki bulunduğu tespit edilmiştir.
