The importance of sustainability in supply chain management is growing worldwide. It is possible to find reasons for this using various phenomena that negatively affect humanity, e.g., climate change, scarce materials, supply disruptions, and complex fossil fuel dependency. Because of that, is extremely important to constantly look for new ways to systematically increase sustainability in enterprises and their logistics and supply chain processes by considering different stakeholders and influential factors. Therefore, this paper explores how different types of organizational culture and normative commitment impact sustainability and each other in business logistics and supply chains and develops a conceptual model to manage this challenge. Gaining new insights is valuable especially for managers to obtain better information on how to improve sustainability not just by integrating green technologies but mainly by changing culture, attitude, and perception in their enterprises. The research is focused on employees from global logistics or related branches in micro, small, medium, and large enterprises with the primary activity mostly related to manufacturing, transport, and storage. The findings are based on the questionnaire which was sent directly to 1576 employees from 528 enterprises. A total of 516 employees from enterprises that are mostly located in 34 countries responded to requests for participation. The results reveal statistically significant positive and negative impacts, e.g., clan culture has a positive statistically significant impact on the sustainable development of supply chains. Most of the connections to the eighth Sustainable Development Goal by the United Nations (decent work and economic growth) were also found, which was the enterprise's highest priority with a share of 52.99%. A contribution to the theory development is gained using the developed model that considers both positive and negative statistically significant impacts studied.
可持续性在供应链管理中的重要性在全球范围内日益增加。可以通过各种对人类产生负面影响的现象来找到原因，例如气候变化、材料短缺、供应中断和复杂的化石燃料依赖。因此，通过考虑不同的利益相关者和影响因素，不断寻找新的方法来系统地提高企业及其物流和供应链流程的可持续性至关重要。因此，本文探讨了不同类型的组织文化和规范承诺如何在企业物流和供应链中相互影响可持续性，并开发了一个概念模型来管理这一挑战。获得新的见解对于管理人员来说尤其有价值，他们可以更好地了解如何通过整合绿色技术来提高可持续性，而主要是通过改变企业的文化、态度和观念。该研究的重点是来自全球物流或相关分支的员工，包括微型、小型、中型和大型企业，主要活动主要与制造、运输和储存相关。研究结果基于直接发送给 528 家企业的 1576 名员工的问卷。共有来自 34 个国家的 516 名企业员工对参与请求做出了回应。结果显示，有统计意义的正负面影响，例如，宗族文化对供应链的可持续发展有积极的统计意义上的影响。还发现了与联合国（体面工作和经济增长）的第八个可持续发展目标的大部分联系，这是企业的最高优先事项，占 52.99%。通过考虑研究中具有统计意义的正负面影响的开发模型，为理论发展做出了贡献。
