Abstract

Green technology is a sign of sustainability, productivity, and minimizing the negative impacts on the manufacturing process. This study investigates the impacts of green technology implementations (GTI) on employee size, age, and job experience in the manufacturing process. The investigation of three parameters designed the questionnaire approach to get study aims. The questionnaires were distributed to those manufacturing firms that utilize green technologies. To achieve study objectives, linear regression, generalized linear model, and Shannon entropy algorithms were proposed to analyze the empirical data. Based on the examination technique, the GTI influence on labor size indicated that an R-value (0.585), labor age (0.546), and (0.346) was a significant impact. Simultaneously, the data were examined through the Shannon entropy algorithm and the found satisfactory examination of three parameters. The present work was robust evidence via empirical analysis of GTI impacts leading to multiple configurations of employee satisfaction and increment production performance.
