目前的工作是试图调查通过可持续供应链管理的做法之间的制造业和流程为基础的组织在印度和其对公司业绩的影响，包括所有三个方面的可持续性。本研究中设想的可持续供应链管理实践包括环境管理实践、员工社会包容实践、社区社会包容实践。运营实践和供应链整合被视为外生变量。企业绩效包括环境绩效、以企业为中心的社会绩效、以社区为中心的社会绩效、运营绩效和竞争力五个维度，它们被视为内生变量。以人力资源的自然对数为控制变量，采用结构方程模型进行分析。研究发现，建筑环境管理实践与运营绩效没有任何显著的关联，也不会导致竞争力。然而，当通过环境绩效和业务绩效共同调节时，环境管理做法会导致竞争力。当只考虑直接关系时，社区的社会包容性做法与竞争力有显着的负相关。然而，它与竞争力的间接关系显示出显着的积极关联时，通过以社区为中心的社会表现为中介。结果表明，促进社区和竞争力的社会包容性做法之间的总体效果微不足道。此外，运营绩效完全中介的运营实践和竞争力之间的关系。管理的影响的研究结果进行了讨论。(C)2018爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有
The present work is an attempt to investigate the adoption of Sustainable Supply Chain Management practices amongst manufacturing and process based organizations in India and its impact on firm performance encompassing all three dimensions of sustainability. Sustainable Supply Chain Management practices conceived in the present study include Environmental Management Practices, Socially Inclusive Practices for Employees, Socially Inclusive Practices for Community. Operations Practices, and Supply Chain Integration which were treated as exogenous variables. Firm performance considered in this study includes five dimensions, namely Environmental Performance, Employee-centred Social Performance, Community-centred Social Performance, Operations Performance, and Competitiveness, which were regarded as endogenous variables. The analysis was carried out with the help of structural equation modeling considering natural logarithm of manpower as a control variable. It is found that the construct environmental management practices does not have any significant association with operations performance, nor does it result in competitiveness. However, when jointly mediated through both environmental performance and operations performance, environmental management practices lead to competitiveness. Socially inclusive practices for community have significant negative association with competitiveness, when only direct relationship is considered. However, its indirect relationship with competitiveness shows significant positive association when mediated through community-centred social performance. The resultant total effect between socially inclusive practices for community and competitiveness turns out to be insignificant. Further, operations performance fully mediates the relationship between operations practices and competitiveness. Managerial implications of the findings are discussed. (C) 2018 Elsevier Ltd.
