“…If more employees participate in green projects, strategy makers will find it easier to persuade others in the company of the importance and utility of these projects [90]. According to [81], when employees are exposed to GHRM, they become more imaginative and courageous about participating in challenging projects.…”

Without a doubt, encouraging the behavior of employees in relation to sustainability is one of the most effective tactics that organizations can use to attain their sustainability goals. It is critical that employees take part in sustainability projects in order for organizations to be successful. In this study, we assumed that organizations supported by responsible employees will be more likely to engage in sustainability-driven projects that affect their long-term viability and the interests of their stakeholders, and that green human resources management will be an encouraging factor. The purpose of this study was to investigate the involvement of employees in sustainability-driven projects within organizations, as well as the potential influence of such involvement on the performance of projects in emerging economies such as Turkey, where individual sensitivity to sustainability is lacking. With this goal in mind, we conducted a qualitative investigation on ten different employees from various corporate enterprises who were authorized to participate in sustainability-driven projects in their workplaces. Our results revealed that in the Turkish business environment, employees have still not reached the required level of maturity regarding sustainability issues in order to be initiators of sustainability projects. This study is the first to investigate the role of employees in sustainability-driven projects within the Turkish market.

“…Research on green supply chain practices, employee engagement, and organizational commitment has recently expanded the scope of green supply chain research. According to the study [66][67][68][69][70], in 2006, Haghighat proposed "essential management of supply chain and reverse logistic function, and not only recognized essential management of supply chain importance and its linked strategies as an irrefutable requirement," but also introduced the concept of reverse procedure should be conflict-free and should have efficient utilization of human force including the organizational, operational performance. Competitor advantage may be multi-dimensional and relative because corporations realize a competitive edge over their competitors via various means.…”

Reverse logistics is a known supply chain practice and has been proven effective in recent decades. In developing countries, these practices are already employed and considered beneficial for the business or firms. The reverse logistics concept creates value for customers and firms. Considering this, this study intends to highlight reverse logistics practices in Pakistan and examine the reverse logistics impacts on competitive advantage with the mediating role of the firm’s organizational performance in Pakistan’s manufacturing industries. In this study, plastic bottle manufacturing firms working in Pakistan were selected to collect the data. Hence, to collect the data from these firms, a survey technique was sought to determine the impact of reverse logistic practices on competitive advantage with the mediating role of organizational performance. A structured and adapted questionnaire was used in this regard. Organizational performance was assumed as the operational and financial performance of these firms. Data were collected using a convenience sampling technique, and the targeted population was the middle-level employees of bottle manufacturing firms. The statistical tool was adopted as the study was quantitative, and results were extracted numerically. IBM SPSS and AMOS version 24 were used as supporting statistical analysis and interpretation tools. Data analysis demonstrated that out of 219 respondents, 68 were supervisors, and others were middle managers. Statistics show that most females were supervisors, and most males were middle managers. “Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA)” was performed to examine the fit of the three-factor model, showing good fit indices (Chi-square/df = 2.71, CFI = 0.902, TLI = 0.896, RMSEA = 0.081), which indicates that the model fits the data well. According to the study’s findings, a significant impact was examined between reverse logistics and competitive advantage, and a mediating role was confirmed between those variables. This study poses unique strengths in theoretical and practical ways and helped enrich the available literature and findings.

“…Employee engagement is crucial for successful sustainability efforts, and organizations should prioritize strategies that engage employees in sustainability practices. This can be achieved by creating opportunities for employees to contribute ideas and involving them in decision-making processes (Gedam et al, 2023;Graham, Cadden & Treacy, 2023;Payán-Sánchez et al, 2021;Teixeira et al, 2016). Additionally, recognizing and acknowledging employees' contributions towards sustainability goals is essential.…”

Background: Sustainability is paramount across all fields, especially in supply chains. The role of human resources is crucial in achieving organizational sustainability standards. However, the impact of human resources on supply chain sustainability has been underemphasized. Purpose: This paper explores the critical nexus between Human Resource Management (HRM) and sustainability within green supply chains, identifying gaps in the current body of knowledge and emerging trends. Study design/methodology/approach: A systematic literature review was conducted, emphasizing sustainability in supply chains and its intersection with HRM's "green" aspects. Web of Science and Scopus databases served as the primary sources. The research involved documentation and content analysis, leading to the development of guidelines for future studies. Findings/conclusions: The study reveals a significant yet underexplored interaction between green HRM and supply chain sustainability. It highlights the need for more focused research in this area, providing a foundational framework for future studies. Limitations/future research: The study primarily focuses on the conceptual linkage between HRM and green supply chains, suggesting the need for empirical research to further validate and expand upon the findings. Future research should investigate specific HRM practices that effectively contribute to sustainable supply chains.
