绿色供应链日益受到许多企业的关注，也是21世纪世纪物流管理面临的挑战。尤其值得关注的是，如何唤起组织的环境意识，并将环境活动落实到其供应链的物流活动中。本文研究了组织学习和管理支持这两个主要因素与中国制造企业采用绿色供应链管理（GSCM）实践程度之间的相关性。组织和运营学习来自于公司在全面质量管理和环境管理体系等项目上的经验。管理支助包括支持高层和中层管理人员的全球供应链管理理念和做法，以及组织各职能部门之间的合作。我们发现显着的正相关关系，组织学习机制，组织支持和通过GSCM的做法，控制了一些其他的影响，包括法规，市场营销，供应商，成本压力，行业水平的相关做法和组织规模。我们的研究结果对物流管理的影响进行了讨论。
Greening the supply chain is increasingly a concern for many business enterprises and a challenge for logistics management in the 21st century. Of particular concern is how to arouse organizational environmental awareness and put environmental activities into practice in the logistics activities of their supply chains. This paper investigates the correlation of two major factors, organizational learning and management support, with the extent of adoption of green supply chain management (GSCM) practices in Chinese manufacturing firms, where their inbound and outbound logistics activities are potential polluters to the environment. Organizational and operational learning was derived from the firm's experience with programs such as total quality management and environmental management systems. Management support included support for GSCM ideas and practices from top and middle-level management and cooperation across organizational functions. We find significant positive relationships between organizational learning mechanisms, organizational support and the adoption of GSCM practices, after controlling for a number of other influences including regulations, marketing, supplier, cost pressures, industry levels of the relevant practice and organizational size. Implications of our findings on logistics management are discussed.
