“…As SCs consist of and span many boundaries, policy makers, practitioners, researchers, and other stakeholders need to better understand various SSCMP and their performance implications (Sarkis, 2012), but most of the prior studies only partially investigate these relationships by focusing on subsets of SSCMP and on the environmental and economic dimensions (Gorane & Kant, 2017; Muzaffar, Khurshid, Malik, & Azhar, 2019). Consequently, firm's social performance has received limited consideration (Mani, Gunasekaran, & Delgado, 2018).…”

Sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) practices have received growing attention but their consequences on firm performance yielded mixed outcomes. This study aims to synthesize quantitative research and to analyze potential moderators on the link between SSCM practices and firm performance. This study draws upon resource‐based view of the firm with the extensions of natural resource‐based view and relational view to underpin study hypotheses. The analysis is based on data collected from 145 independent samples composed of 33,886 firms. The research hypotheses are tested using meta‐analytical procedures. The results show that SSCM practices are significantly and positively correlated with firm's social, operational, economic, and environmental performance dimensions. Additional findings from moderator analysis provide nuanced views of SSCM practices‐performance link. This paper contributes to the literature by underlining the relevance of SSCM, identifying and classifying SSCM practices into a coherent framework. The research findings help policy makers, practitioners and other stakeholders to better understand benefits from the adoption of SSCM practices. Additionally, to the best of authors' knowledge, this is the first study that meta‐analytically combined existing empirical evidence of the social supply practices on various types of firm's sustainability performance.

“…Most importantly, social sustainable practices have improved employee motivation and productivity while reducing absenteeism (Carter and Easton, 2011). The social practice of MLSPs in organizing charity activities and community-oriented initiatives has also received good social responsibility performance (Multaharju et al, 2017;Muzaffar et al, 2019). In terms of economic sustainable practice, MLSPs implements the ISO 14000 standard and adopts detachable and reusable innovative technologies to reduce costs, shorten lead times, improve cold chain product quality (Carter and Easton, 2011).…”

In recent years, suppliers’ sustainability has been the primary source of conflict in multinational supply chains. How suppliers from developing nations may accomplish sustainable development and competitive advantage goals has become a tough issue inside the multinational supply chain, particularly in the agri-food cold chain. Using an integrated theory-based perspective, this paper analyzes how sustainable logistics service providers’ supply chain cooperation (MSCC) might drive the sustainable transformation of suppliers in developing nations. Between 1 June 2020 and 15 January 2021, we gathered feedback from 215 Chinese vendors and analyzed and discussed possible models using structural equation modeling. This study demonstrates that the sustainable practices of logistics service providers are the foundation for influencing the collaboration of suppliers in developing nations with regard to sustainability. In addition, the five-stage transnational supply chain cooperation based on the theory of innovation diffusion is an efficient strategy for ensuring the sustainable development of suppliers in developing nations. This paper examines the theoretical framework at the forefront of multinational supply chain sustainability development. This presents the most recent experience and policy application for suppliers from emerging nations to acquire a competitive advantage.

“…Although many social players are stakeholders of a firm, scholars have tried to address why certain stakeholders are more important to the firm as compared to others (Muzaffar et al, 2019). In this regard, many classifications are presented in the literature.…”

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) remains a topic of interest for both theory and practice due to its multifaceted avenues and potential for growth. We have chosen embedded CSR and peripheral CSR measures to evaluate how these activities affect the employee turnover intentions via a mediation mechanism of organizational citizenship behavior (OCB). In doing so, this study addresses important stakeholder concerns and provides meaningful managerial contributions for the employers to encourage more employee participation (through lowering turnover intention) toward sustainable corporate performance. This study incorporates four hypotheses that are tested in a structural equation modeling framework by employing Warp-PLS software. Data were collected from 297 employees working in firms that are renowned for their CSR initiatives. We found support for our key hypotheses leading to strong theoretical contributions to the stakeholder theory. We have addressed the main issues of stakeholders’ response to the CSR tradeoffs and have tried to develop a deeper understanding of managers in initiating peripheral and embedded CSR activities for their firms.
