This paper aims to explore the green supply chain management (GSCM) initiatives (implementation) of various manufacturing industrial sectors in China and examine the links between GSCM initiatives and performance outcomes. We conducted a survey to collect data from four typical manufacturing industrial sectors in China, namely, power generating, chemical/petroleum, electrical/electronic and automobile, and received 171 valid organizational responses for data analysis. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to analyze the data. The results are consistent with our prediction that the different manufacturing industry types display different levels of GSCM implementation and outcomes. We specifically found that the electrical/electronic industry has relatively higher levels of GSCM implementation and achieves better performance outcomes than the other three manufacturer types. Implications of the results are discussed and suggestions for further research on the implementation of GSCM are offered.
本文旨在探讨中国各制造业行业的绿色供应链管理（GSCM）举措（实施情况），并考察GSCM举措与绩效结果之间的联系。我们开展了一项调查，以收集来自中国四个典型制造业行业的数据，即发电、化工/石油、电气/电子和汽车行业，并收到了171份有效的组织回复用于数据分析。采用方差分析（ANOVA）对数据进行分析。结果与我们的预测一致，即不同的制造业类型呈现出不同水平的GSCM实施情况和结果。我们特别发现，电气/电子行业的GSCM实施水平相对较高，且比其他三种制造类型取得了更好的绩效结果。文中讨论了结果的影响，并针对GSCM的实施提出了进一步研究的建议。
