Energy-efficient production technologies can reduce energy waste and improve operational efficiency in food-processing plants, yet their availability does not automatically yield sustainable operational performance (SOP). Guided by the technology–organization–environment (TOE) framework and the natural resource-based view, this study examined five determinants of the adoption of energy-efficient production technologies (AEPT) perceived operational benefit, technology compatibility, top management support, employee technical capability, and environmental commitment and the association between AEPT and SOP. A quantitative cross-sectional survey was conducted among 180 employees of PT Garudafood Putra Putri Jaya Tbk, Pati Business Unit, recruited through purposive sampling between January and May 2026 using a Google Forms questionnaire (35 items, five-point Likert scale, electronic informed consent). Data were analyzed with Pearson correlation and multiple linear regression. All constructs were reliable (Cronbach's α = .883–.925), and mean scores were moderate (2.91–3.00). The five determinants jointly explained 58.5% of the variance in AEPT (adjusted R² = .573, F(5, 174) = 48.97, p < .001). All were significant, with top management support showing the largest standardized coefficient (β = .254), although the five coefficients were similar in size. AEPT was strongly and positively associated with SOP (β = .655, R² = .430) and remained significant in an extended model (β = .518). Sustainable operational performance thus appears to depend not merely on the presence of technology but on organizational conditions that support its consistent adoption and use. Because the data are self-reported and cross-sectional, the findings indicate associations rather than causal effects.
