“…This will be critical in enhancing collaboration with customers and improvement in sales. Therefore, a long-term approach will work for improved economic performance [8,19,50,61,82,88,106,108,109]. Hence, this study was also in line with the mentioned prior studies, where, in the long run, the environmental performance had a positive effect on the economic performance of manufacturing companies in Pakistan.…”

“…This study was an extension of research on the role of institutional pressures [14,99,100], and, more precisely, an attempt to examine the individual impact of all three isomorphic pressures to adopt internal and external GSCM practices [19]. The effect of external practices as a higher order construct on environmental performance was studied by de Sousa Jabbour et al [13] who recommended the inclusion of both internal and external GSCM practices as higher-order constructs.…”

“…Institutional theory highlights three kinds of isomorphic pressures, where coercive pressures are a set of formal or informal pressures from influential organizations on which the focal firm is dependent due to specific resources, abiding by the law, or even societal expectations [37]. These pressures can take the form of invitations by industrial bodies to join them to acquire benefits, or a source of fear to become banned/fined for non-compliance of specific government laws or regulations [19,39]. Normative pressures are a result of certain norms and standards formalized by the environment from a cultural expectation of that environment [40].…”

“…Another trend entails the combination of two or more individual practices to from GSCM in accordance with the objectives of respective studies [18]. Interestingly, one study has used weighted averages of the observed variables to form constructs of internal and external GSCM practices [19], while another has used them as second order constructs [20]. In the midst of these, this study was an attempt to thoroughly explore the impact of individual institutional pressures on different GSCM practices which are uniquely identifiable.…”

The adoption of green practices within and outside organizational boundaries is imperative to ascertain environmental and economic performance goals. This article examined whether internal and external green supply chain management (GSCM) practices have the same or different kinds of regulatory, market, or competitive pressures. We employed institutional theory to identify different kinds of pressures, and resource dependence theory to explore the impact of internal and external GSCM practices on performance. An empirical study was conducted by collecting data through a structured questionnaire administered in Pakistan to the executives in the manufacturing industry. A total of 207 responses were used for data analysis by employing the partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) method. Normative pressures were found to be the most significant in both internal and external GSCM practices, while coercive and mimetic pressures positively affected internal and external GSCM practices, respectively. Internal GSCM practices proved to be more significant in improving environmental performance, and also had a substantial impact on external GSCM practices. In contrast, External GSCM practices had a significant positive effect on economic performance, while environmental performance also contributed to improving economic performance. The theoretical and managerial implications are discussed for academics, policymakers, and industry practitioners.

“…Rosaangla et al (2017) [21] verified that institutional pressures positively affected suppliers in Brazil's automotive supply chain to pursue GSCM practices through a structural equation model. Chung-Shang Yang (2017) [22] collected data from surveyees employed by 129 container shipping companies and agencies in Taiwan and used the structural equation model to explore the impact of institutional pressures and internal and external green practices on green performance.…”

Proactive Environmental Strategy (PES) and Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) are popular subjects in the areas of environmental strategies and operations management respectively. Although scholars in each of these areas are advancing the roles of PES and GSCM in promoting sustainable development, there is a lack of integration between these two contemporary subjects. Actually, they have some certain similarities, and thus , the aims of this paper are to propose a research agenda for this integration. Through the literature review, this paper explores the coupling between PES and GSCM and builds a theoretical framework so that it can provide useful reference for scholars, managers, and practitioners in the areas of organizational sustainability and truly sustainable supply chains.

Sustainability among Norwegian maritime firms: Green strategy and innovation as mediators of long‐term orientation and emission reduction

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This study investigates the relationships between emission reduction, long-term orientation, green strategy, and green innovation among maritime vessel-owning firms of various sizes in the Norwegian maritime sector. A change from the utilization of fossil fuels and move toward more sustainable sources of energy demand substantial financial investments and behavioral changes but are fundamental to preventing further climate change. This study examines the greening of the Norwegian fleet through a structural equation model based upon 246 survey responses. Although our model does not show a significant direct relationship between long-term orientation and emission reductions, we do find that long-term orientation is indirectly related to emission reductions because of its relationships with green strategy and green innovation. Moreover, as mediators, green innovation and green strategy share direct associations with firms' reductions of greenhouse gases and environmentally harmful emissions. Implications for practitioners and policy makers are proposed.
