Green management and its implementation and practices attracted the attention of both practitioners and academicians alike, which in part is due to its positive impact on the environment and sustainability, however, little is known about what really measures the effect of green management practices on business performance. Conventional measures of financial performance cannot reflect the proposed effect since green management is long-term oriented and not limited to financial performance only. This research explores the potentials of using balanced scorecard to measure the effect of green marketing, green supply chain and green human resources on the performance of the firms. Simple random sampling technique was followed in this research, and data were collected from 113 managers from different companies in service and manufacturing sectors in UAE. The findings indicate that green marketing was the major determinant of customers’ performance, green human resources was the major factor affecting learning and growth, and that green supply chain was the main influencer on financial performance and internal processes.

This study aims to describe the collaboration of stakeholder roles and analyzes the influence of government, Micro & Small businesses and workers to improve the performance of Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) officers in community health center. The study is a survey with a cross-sectional design to measure the influence of stakeholders' role on the performance of occupational health efforts. The study sample was 80 people, namely all OHS officers from the community health center (CHC) in the city of Medan. The independent variables in this study are the role of government (X1), the role of micro and small business (X2), the role of the workers (X3) and the performance of OHS officers is the dependent variable. Data collection is perfomed using a questionnaire that has been validated with interval scales 1 - 5. Hypothesis testing is based on using structural equation modeling path analysis and analysis is performed using PLS-SEM, Smart PLS 3.0. Direct test results show that the government has not played a significant role in Micro & Small Business and the role of workers. The government only plays a significant role in the performance of OHS officers. Micro & Small businesses significantly influence workers' role, but it has not significantly affected OHS officers' performance. The role of workers significantly influences the performance of OHS officers. Test results indirectly show the critical role of collaboration between stakeholders. Although it has not shown a significant effect, there is an increase in the significant value on the performance of officers. The finding confirms the need for seriousness and the importance of collaboration among stakeholders. The research needs to be expanded by involving all OHS officers up to sub-health centers, and other districts/cities with the same characteristics. The study has only investigated at community health center. Policy recommendations are given for managing an integrated occupational health service program in community health center involving all stakeholders in Medan.
