Purpose: The study aims to explore and describe the mediation of green marketing in the relationship between supply chain management and corporate performance. Originality/gap/relevance/implications: The prior intention was to fill an epistemological gap about green marketing. The presence of green marketing in regression decreases the magnitude of the relationship between supply chain management and performance in Brazilian construction companies. Key methodological aspects: The study was carried out using quantitative method with exploratory and descriptive purposes. An exploratory research was conducted through in-depth interviews with ten managers working in the construction business. A descriptive survey involved the application of a questionnaire answered by a sample of 133 respondents. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, linear regression and structural equation modeling. Summary of key results: Data showed that green marketing mediates, in part, the relationship between supply chain management and corporate performance. Key considerations/conclusions: As theoretical implications, the study reinforces positive correlations between the constructs used in the surveyed sector. It resorted to models previously developed that, combined, could be reproduced or falsified, in order to obtain, finally, convergent measurement models. As a practical application, it identified the involvement of employees in environmental issues, missions and visions with explicit statements on energy and water saving and green marketing initiatives to improve the corporate image, such as obtaining environmental certifications. In conclusion, it appears that the civil construction companies have room to improve the communication and image to stimulate both the supply and consumption of green products.
O objetivo foi o de avaliar um modelo de gestão de operações verdes que incorpora a gestão de operações verdes como constructo focal e a gestão da cadeia de suprimentos como antecedente, e marketing verde e desempenho organizacional como construtos consequentes. Para tanto, realizou-se uma pesquisa constituída de duas fases. A primeira, de natureza exploratória do tipo qualitativo, utilizou-se de uma amostra de 10 respondentes cuja coleta de dados se deu por meio de entrevistas em profundidade. A segunda, de natureza descritiva do tipo quantitativo, utilizou-se de uma amostra de 151 respondentes cuja coleta de dados se deu por meio de questionários semiestruturados. Em ambas as fases, as amostras de empresas foram do ramo da construção civil e detentoras do selo verde. Os dados coletados, tratados pela modelagem em equações estruturais, revelaram que a gestão da cadeia de suprimentos verde impacta na gestão de operações verdes, e que ambas, gestão da cadeia de suprimentos verde e a gestão de operações verdes influenciam o marketing verde, que por sua vez, impacta no desempenho organizacional. Diante deste resultado pode-se concluir que o marketing verde teve um papel importante para a integração da gestão da cadeia de suprimentos e operações verdes, por consequência, atender ao desempenho organizacional.
