Structural equation modeling (Smart PLS) was used to analyze the issue. A review of the findings shows the initial evaluation of the measurement model indicates the appropriateness of the model. The results of the model execution showed, that five factors had a factor loading of less than 0.5 and were removed from the list of factors. The results of running the model again showed that all the remaining 68 items had an effect rate higher than 0.5. The results of the structural model indicate the existence of a significant structural relationship between sustainability management and economic, social, productivity, technical, educational, and institutional effects. The index of the coefficient of square determination showed that this coefficient was estimated to be higher than the strong value of 0.26 for all research indicators. The coefficient of determination index for the economic index was estimated to be 0.299 less than other indices, and the productivity index was estimated to be 0.511 more than other indices.
