This paper examines the relationship between specific organisational factors (top management support,
training, employee participation, teamwork and the link of performance to rewards) with the effectiveness
of environmental management. The effectiveness of environmental management is measured in
respect of the effectiveness of environmental management processes and environmental performance.
Data were collected by mail survey questionnaire from a random sample of 899 senior financial officers
in Australian manufacturing organisations. The findings highlight the significance of the effectiveness of
environmental management processes as an antecedent of environmental performance and a mediator
of the relationship between organisational factors and environmental performance. The findings provide
managers with an insight into the specific organisational factors that they need to focus on to enhance
the effectiveness of environmental management.
