“…Furniture is one of Indonesia’s four biggest non-oil and gas export. The others are palm oil, footwear and rubber (Melati et al , 2013). Although the total value of Indonesian furniture exports decreased by 15 percent between 2007 and 2011, the value total value of Indonesian furniture exports increased again to $1.18bn in 2011 (Purnomo et al , 2009).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is twofold: first, to investigate the direct effect of internal and external drivers on full implementation of the green supply-chain management (GSCM) practice; and second, to investigate the direct effect of internal drivers and indirect effect of external drivers on the full implementation of the GSCM practice. Design/methodology/approach The study is based on the data collected from 30 to 35 furniture small and medium enterprises (SMEs) chosen from each surveyed region. In this case, the selected SMEs should have been conducted some GSCM practices. So, the total number of samples used in this study is 100 SMEs. The relationships between internal and external drivers and the success of the implementation of the GSCM practices are analyzed using structural equation modeling. Findings The results of this study have revealed that internal and external drivers, which consist of involvement, technology, financial, regulation and customer pressure, have a direct effect on early adoption of GSCM practices. Among these drivers, technology gives the most significant effect. The results have also shown that only financial factor has a direct effect on the full implementation of GCSCM practices, whereas regulation and customer pressure have positive effect on the full implementation through early adoption of GSCM practices. Research limitations/implications Among the limitations of this study is related to the sample that was restricted to SMEs of furniture in three regions. The other limitation could be related to variable involved as internal and external drivers. This study has only used involvement, technology, knowledge, financial, and regulation and customer pressure as the antecedent variables of early adoption of the GSCM practices. Moreover, this study has only used the Likert scale as an approach to measure the implementation of GSCM practice management, which could be the source of bias in expressing the level of the implementation. Practical implications From the internal side of enterprises, the top management or the owner of SMEs can develop an effective comprehensive environmental strategy. This strategy requires the top management of SMEs show an environment oriented, allocate a specific person for implementing the GSCM practice and learn about the current technology that can support the environmentally friendly products, and also allocate the specific budget to support the implementation of GSCM practice. Moreover, since the study also found that financial factor was just the only factor having a direct effect on the full implementation of GSCM practices; therefore, the government should help the SMEs of furniture in developing low cost-GSCM implementation techniques and also provide easiness for the SMEs to get the needed fund for implementing the GSCM practice. Social implications The research has confirmed that regulation and customer pressure have the positive and significant effect on the full implementation of GSCM practices. It may encourage the government to make some policy related to improvement of the implementation of GSCM practice by SMEs of wooden furniture, specifically in the Central Java Province. Another implication would be to encourage the customer to make purchasing oriented decision for the implementation of GSCM practices by the SMEs of wooden furniture. Originality/value This study contributes to the literature of GSCM by combining the critical factors of implementation of GSCM practices toward internal and external drivers and empirically testing the direct and indirect impacts on the level of adoption of GSCM practices.

“…Research related to the wooden-furniture industries in Central Java (under project FST/2007/119) generated positive economic benefits for the small and medium enterprises that collaborated with the project (Melati et al 2013;Purnomo et al 2014). In contrast, research related to enhancing value-added wood processing in Papua New Guinea (under project FST/2006/120) did not achieve any apparent adoption of project outputs by the private sector (Fisher 2011).…”

The Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research (ACIAR) commissions collaborative agriculture, fisheries and forestry research projects in developing countries. Over a 30-year period, ACIAR has invested over AUD 100 million to fund 150 forestry projects and activities in 29 countries, with most of these projects implemented in Indonesia, Vietnam and Papua New Guinea. This article describes the approach that ACIAR uses to develop and implement projects, and reviews the nature of the ACIAR Forestry Program and its achievements during each decade of its existence. About three-quarters of the research projects have focused on aspects of smallholder and community forestry systems. The findings from a series of independent impact assessment studies, which demonstrate generally high returns on the forestry research investment, are reviewed and some examples of different categories of impacts from the research projects are discussed. ARTICLE HISTORY

“…Furniture is one of the wood processing industries that is experiencing an optimistic trend due to an integrated manufacturing system with change management (Dalenogare, et al, 2018). The formulation strategy in change management is to adjust to changes in market demand, strengthen and increase production capacity and increase cost efficiency (Melati, et al 2013;Castro, et al, 2019). Changes in raw materials from round wood products to processed wood such as laminating boards, wood panels and other furniture needs (Firdaus & Handriyono, 2018), as well as types of particle board, pulp have an impact on increasing demand for both export and domestic needs (Suharjito, 2014 ;Lestari & Isnina, 2017).…”

Optimism towards the furniture industry began to rise since change management was integrated with manufacturing operating systems with technology and communication. Employee motivation will be more focused if they get selffulfilling from the leader through communicated work targets. The purpose of this study is to examine and analyze the effect of change management and communication on self-fulfilling motivation and employee performance. Research design with Quantitative Research design with quantitative research approach, data collection techniques with questionnaires.The research population is 469 employees in the furniture industry in East Java, so that a multistage cluster sampling was conducted as a sampling technique, and the respondents were 300 furniture employees. The causality model in this study was analyzed using Stuctural Equation Modeling which was operated through the AMOS 17 program. The results showed that change management had no effect on performance. However, change management has a direct effect on self-fulfilling motivation. This study also proves that communication has a significant effect on performance and communication also has a significant effect on self-fulfilling motivation. Motivation has a significant positive effect on performance in a positive direction. This research is based on previous research, both empirical and theoretical findings from various studies on the study of organizational behavior in human resource management, with the development of new self-fulfilling motivations.
