Abstract

The aim of the research is to apply knowledge in the production of lean-green vegetables (case study: presentation of a model in the food industry). This research has been done in an applied and survey way. With Dematel's multi-criteria decision making expert method, the internal relationships of the variables have been examined. An expert questionnaire has been designed. The community of unit managers were the managers of food industry units. Validity based on the consistency rate of 0.656 was obtained and confirmed. The number of samples that included managers of food industry units in Azerbaijan province with at least 15 years of experience in the field of food industry and having at least a master's degree, which was determined to be 14 people, considering the acceptable sample size (10-25 people). The identified criteria include motivations and success factors related to human resource management, motivations and organizational success factors, systemic challenges and obstacles, managerial challenges and obstacles, challenges and obstacles related to human resources, methods, tools and techniques. Environmental processes, methods, tools and techniques, key factors of social-operational performance and key factors of environmental performance. Based on Dematel's analysis, motivations and success factors related to human resource management are the most effective. Systemic challenges and obstacles are in second place. The motivations and factors of organizational success are in the next level of influence. The key factors of socio-operational performance are the least effective.
