ABSTRACT
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine the impact of green supply chain management (GSCM) on environmental performance (EP) and export performance in the context of a developing country, Jordan. In addition, the mediating effect of EP on the relationship between GSCM and export performance is investigated. Design/methodology/approach – The study is based on survey data collected from 221 manufacturing companies in Jordan. The companies were selected from different industry types to ensure diversity. Validity and reliability analyses were performed using SPSS and Amos, and structural equation modeling was used to test the study hypotheses. Findings – The results revealed that GSCM positively and significantly affects both EP and export performance. In addition, the results demonstrated that EP positively and significantly affects export performance. Further, it is also found that EP positively and significantly mediates the relationship between GSCM and export performance. Originality/value – The current study is one of the first to investigate the impact of GSCM on export performance, especially in the context of a developing country. In addition, this study contributes to the existing literature by highlighting the mediating effect of EP on GSCM—export performance relationship. GSCM is an under-investigated area in Jordan. The results are expected to promote GSCM implementation among manufacturing companies in Jordan in order to achieve economic benefits by increasing their exports through improvements in EP.
INTRODUCTION
Rising environmental issues and resource depletion concerns have made regulators move to stricter regulations. Simultaneously, the public’s environmental consciousness has increased. Given these changes, manufacturers have been compelled to start environmental initiatives to improve their environmental performance (EP). In addition, recent regulations, such as the restrictions on the use of hazardous substances, require firms to extend their environmental initiatives to their customers and suppliers. As a result, green supply chain management (GSCM), which integrates environmental issues into supply chain management (SCM), has been increasingly implemented by organizations (Zhu et al., 2010).
