In this study, we establish a set of 19 influential factors on the implementation of Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) practices and analyse the interaction between these factors and their effect on the implementation of GSCM practices using the Interpretive Structural Modelling (ISM) method and the "Matrice d'Impacts Croisés Multiplication Appliquée à un Classement" (MICMAC) analysis on data compiled from interviews with supply chain (SC) executives based in the Gulf countries (Middle East region). The study reveals a strong influence and driving power of the nature of the relationships between SC partners on the implementation of GSCM practices. We especially found that dependence, trust, and durability of the relationship with SC partners have a very high influence. In addition, the size of the company, the top management commitment, the implementation of quality management and the employees training and education exert a critical influence on the implementation of GSCM practices. Contextual elements such as the industry sector and region and their effect on the prominence of specific factors are also highlighted through our study. Finally, implications for research and practice are discussed.
在本研究中，我们确定了一套关于绿色供应链管理（GSCM）实践实施的19个影响因素，并使用解释结构模型（ISM）方法和“交叉影响矩阵乘法应用于分类”（MICMAC）分析，对从海湾国家（中东地区）供应链高管访谈收集的数据进行分析，以研究这些因素之间的相互作用及其对GSCM实践实施的影响。研究表明，供应链合作伙伴之间关系的性质对GSCM实践的实施具有强大的影响力和驱动力。我们特别发现，与供应链合作伙伴关系的依赖性、信任度和持续性具有非常高的影响力。此外，公司规模、高层管理承诺、质量管理的实施以及员工培训和教育对GSCM实践的实施也具有关键影响。我们的研究还强调了行业部门和地区等背景因素及其对特定因素突出性的影响。最后，讨论了对研究和实践的启示。
