The purpose of this study was to investigate the moderating role of "organizational citizenship behavior toward the environment" (OCBE) on the relation between "green supply chain management" (GSCM) practices and sustainable performance. The participants of the current study were manufacturing firms, and non-probability convenience sampling technique was used for selecting the sample size. The survey method used while data were collected from manufacturing firms was cross-sectional; a total of 151 responses were received and used in the analysis. For statistical analysis, "SmartPLS partial least square, structural equation modeling" PLS-SEM was used. From the findings, it was evident that in the measurement model, convergent and discriminant validities were established. In the second stage, a structural model was developed for hypotheses testing. It was found that sustainable performance was associated with proposed GSCM practices, excluding environmental management. OCBE being a moderator has significant impacts concerning GSCM operations and sustainability functions of firms. However, OCBE did not play the role of moderator between internal environmental management and EE and sustainable performance. The present study is significant for managers and policymakers for the attainment of competitive advantage, enhancement of OCBE, and sustainable performance. Furthermore, this research study is the first empirical study that has used OCBE as a moderator through the lens of NRBV.
本研究的目的是探讨“组织对环境的公民行为”(OCBE)在“绿色供应链管理”(GSCM)实践与可持续绩效之间关系中的调节作用。本研究的参与者为制造企业,采用非概率便利抽样技术来确定样本量。从制造企业收集数据时所使用的调查方法为横断面调查;共收到151份回复并用于分析。对于统计分析,使用了“SmartPLS偏最小二乘结构方程建模”(PLS-SEM)。从研究结果来看,在测量模型中,已建立了收敛效度和区分效度。在第二阶段,构建了一个结构模型用于假设检验。研究发现,可持续绩效与所提出的GSCM实践相关,但不包括环境管理。OCBE作为调节变量,对企业的GSCM运营和可持续性功能具有显著影响。然而,OCBE在内部环境管理与生态效率(EE)及可持续绩效之间并未起到调节作用。本研究对于管理者和政策制定者在获取竞争优势、提升OCBE及实现可持续绩效方面具有重要意义。此外,本研究是第一项通过自然-资源基础观(NRBV)视角将OCBE用作调节变量的实证研究。
