This research aims to measure the influence of green technology competencies (GTC), sociocultural norms (SCN), and perceived long-term benefits (PB) on green technology use behavior (UB) in vocational education and learning. In addition, the mediating role of PB is also tested to bridge the indirect influence of GTC and SCN on UB. Expost-facto research was conducted in vocational education, involving 531 participants who voluntarily joined as teachers and students and had specific criteria tailored to their needs. Data collection was assisted by using a closed questionnaire with four Likert scales, which had been tested for validity and reliability. Structural Equation Modeling was used to analyze data through path analysis and bootstrap methods. This research proves the importance of PB in playing a crucial role as a determinant of UB on teachers and students. This research also provides an essential insight into how GTC and SCN play a significant role in growing PB and determining UB. These results provide an essential signal, especially for vocational education, to balance the power of competence and foundations to stimulate the growth of solid behavior to use green technology sustainably. The synergy between various stakeholders and sociocultural communities is an important key that must continue to be pursued. © 2025 Malque Publishing. All rights reserved.
