GREEN TECHNOLOGY AND ITS ROLE IN IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF WORK LIFE IN OIL COMPANIES-DHI QAR OIL COMPANY AS A CASE STUDY

Abstract

The current study aims to examine the impact of green technology—through its various dimensions (green energy, green chemistry, and green nanotechnology)—on improving the quality of work life, as measured by work stress, job security, job satisfaction). The study was conducted on a sample of managerial leaders at Dhi Qar Oil Company, using a descriptive-analytical approach and testing two main hypotheses. The study touched a set of conclusions, most notably that the process of implementing green technologies is not a random or incidental process, but rather one that follows the company’s organizational climate, where employees are the key players, and these employees have the benefits that enable them to implement awareness of green technologies. The study produced a set of approvals, the most notable of which is that Dhi Qar Oil Company must pay attention to the company’s organizational structure, as it is one of the most important elements of the company’s internal environment, and must raise awareness and encourage all industrial companies to use green technologies.
