“…This would lead to true green sustainability practices. Public universities should focus on harnessing knowledge, a GIC construct that could promote the adoption of environmental sustainability in response to global demand (Martínez-Falcó et al , 2023). Overall, this study revealed that knowledge, an intangible resource, influences the adoption of green practices in supplier selection.…”

“…Studies on GIC such as green innovation adoption (Asiaei et al , 2023; Marco-Lajara et al , 2023; Ullah et al , 2022; Aboelmaged and Hashem, 2019), green human resource management (Zaid et al , 2018), green supply chain (Jabbour and Jabbour, 2016), green purchasing (Zhang et al , 2018), green agricultural practices (Abrudan et al , 2022; Martínez-Falcó et al , 2023), low-carbon development (Ma et al , 2019) and green training (Sarwar and Mustafa, 2023) have emerged swiftly. A review of the literature proved that most of these studies focused on manufacturing firms (Ahlawat et al , 2023).…”

Purpose There is sufficient literature on green knowledge regarding supplier selections. Notwithstanding, there are hardly any empirical studies that analyze green knowledge toward supplier selection through the lenses of green intellectual capital (GIC). This paper aims to analyze green knowledge development toward supplier selection through the lenses of GIC. Design/methodology/approach This study uses an exploratory case study approach involving seven public universities in Ghana. A purposive sampling technique was used in selecting respondents who were interviewed through face-to-face and focus group discussions with a semistructured interview guide. Atlas ti software was used to generate themes for discussion. Findings The findings of this study attribute the nonapplication of green criteria to supplier selection to low knowledge among practitioners. Training, collaboration, opportunities for further studies and affiliation with professional bodies were identified as means to enhance green knowledge. Green human capital factors that support knowledge enhancement include commitment, capability, skills and ease of understanding. Practical implications Green procurement practitioners in public universities in developing countries stand little chance of integrating green criteria into supplier selection if they do not develop their level of knowledge. Social implications Selecting green suppliers is a complex issue for public organizations, particularly universities. This study would therefore help equip managers of public universities and procurement practitioners with the relevant GIC knowledge for the successful integration of green credentials into supplier selection. Originality/value This paper highlights the importance of knowledge in green supplier selection. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, analyzing the role of GIC in knowledge development is considered the first of this kind of study.

“…GSCM techniques may also be implemented throughout the entire value chain, from suppliers to end users, if firms provide purchasers with the knowledge they need to reduce their environmental impact. Each activity can indirectly reduce the firm's direct and environmental impacts (Martínez-Falcó et al 2023). Manufacturers have been using GSCM approaches in response to consumer expectations for ecologically sustainable goods and services created using sustainable and eco-friendly techniques while also considering environmental regulatory laws (Huma et al 2022).…”

The spontaneous organizational citizenship behavior towards environment (OCBE) of employees in the workplace is crucial to businesses’ green development and low-carbon transition. However, it was not considered how such behavior could be encouraged for enhanced firm performance. From the natural resource-based view theory perspective, this study tests a model that investigates how green supply chain management practices, green culture, top management commitment, and OCBE, and influences firm performance. A structural equation model (SEM) was utilized to test the hypotheses using 600 survey questionnaires collected from manufacturing firms. The results show that green supply chain management indirectly affects firm performance through green culture and top management commitment. The results reveal that green culture and top management commitment positively and significantly mediate the relationship between green supply chain management and firm performance. Furthermore, the findings show that OCBE has a direct effect on firm performance. Moreover, the results highlight that OCBE has a positive moderating effect on the association between green supply chain management and firm performance. Finally, the study’s findings and implications are disclosed to be useful policy instruments for organizations, administrations, and other stakeholders.

“…Under the double impact of resource endowment constraints and agricultural surface pollution, improving agricultural green productivity has become the key to guaranteeing food security and promoting sustainable agricultural development. In the context of the integrated development of rural industries, the inclusion of farmers in the agricultural industry chain [49], the strengthening of the link between agricultural producers and the main body of the other links in the value chain, and the driving of farmers by cooperatives and agribusinesses to carry out agricultural production are the embodiment of the trend in the development of the scale, intensification, and mechanization of agriculture [50], and a realistic path to improving agricultural green productivity. Based on the contractual choice perspective in the context of China's rural industrial integration, this study explored farmers' agricultural green productivity.…”

Promoting farmers’ participation in rural industrial integration and driving farmers’ agricultural production with cooperatives and agribusinesses are conducive to realizing cost saving, efficiency, and green production and guaranteeing food security and sustainable agricultural development. Based on the microsurvey data of 1039 grain farmers in Henan Province, China in 2022, this paper examined the impact of contractual choices of farmers’ participation in rural industrial integration on agricultural green productivity while analyzing the mechanism of action by using OLS regression, a causal mediation analysis of instrumental variables, propensity score matching, and two-stage least squares (2SLS). The study found that: (1) farmers’ participation in a contract, driven by cooperatives or agribusinesses to carry out agricultural production, is conducive to improving their agricultural green productivity, but the effect of each main body to drive farmers varies; (2) farmers’ participation in a contract, through cooperatives or agribusinesses to obtain all kinds of agricultural production services—such as agricultural machinery services, agricultural supply services, and technical guidance services—improves the use of agricultural machinery, the standardization of chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and other agricultural materials’ use, increases technical guidance, and improves agricultural green productivity. The findings of this paper suggest policy and practical implications for safeguarding food security and promoting sustainable agriculture, as well as enriching research on agricultural productivity.
