This study evaluated the drivers of environmental sustainability practices using mango
farm managers in Thailand. The purpose was to ascertain farmers' ability to conserve natural
resources and protect the ecosystem. This was necessitated to raise environmental awareness,
promote sustainable human development, and increase economic growth and quality of life. The
study adopted a quantitative survey design with primary data collected from mango farm
managers in four provinces in Thailand. Data were collected from a total of 383 respondents. The
data was analyzed using CFA and SEM techniques employing SPSS v26 and AMOS v26. The
findings showed that Organizational Culture and Employee Training significantly and positively
influence Environmental Sustainability Practices in managing mango as a natural resource.
Organizational Culture was also found to positively mediate the effect of information system
adoption. The study concluded that management and employees in mango farms should be trained
about the importance of environmental sustainability and encouraged to cultivate a culture
grounded in the sustainability practices of mango as a natural resource. They should be taught
how advancing and adopting sustainable practices by subsistence and commercial mango farmers
in Thailand can enhance sustainable development, economic growth, and regional cooperation
by checking materials and methods.
