N2  - ABSTRACT
It has become increasingly common for manufacturers or producers to use new 
technology and techniques, together with effective supply chain management, to gain 
a long-term competitive advantage. Technology, innovation, and globalization have 
all increased the level of competitiveness for firms in recent years. Small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) should be examined and analysed on a country-by-country 
basis to identify the differences and similarities in their green manufacturing strategies.
The study examined the impact of adopting green technology on the environmental 
performance of manufacturing companies in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. 
The objective was to explore the effect of internal and external motivation on the 
environmental performance of manufacturing companies in the Turkish Republic of 
Northern Cyprus. The study used questionnaires to collect data from 65 manufacturing 
companies in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus.
The study found a positive relationship between environmental performance and the 
internal motivation for using green technology, the external motivation for using green 
technology, the education level, the number of employees at the companies, and the 
work experience of the workers. The study also found that the educational attainment 
of workers and employees' working experience are statistically significant, but internal 
motivation and the number of employees is not statistically significant good for the 
environment because it would reduce the negative effects of human activities.
The study would help manufacturing companies in the Turkish Republic of Northern 
Cyprus to adopt green technology since it helps to minimize the negative impact of 
human activities on the environment.
