Exploring the Internal Factors of the Successful Implementation of Green Supply Chain Management in Manufacturing in Saudi Arabia
Purpose: Widespread awareness of environmental issues; like global warming; has forced organizations to develop an environmental objective in their supply chains. Green Supply Chain Management aims to reduce the negative impact of supply chain practices in organizations. This research explores internal factors influencing the successful implementation of GSCM in manufacturing companies in Saudi Arabia. Internal factors influencing GSCM were identified from the literature review, which include top management commitment, organisational strategy, and economic benefits. Methodology: An explorative study has been conducted, based on 40 questionnaires that were filled by supply chain professionals, working in factories in Saudi Arabia. Statistical Program for Social Sciences (SPSS) was used to analyse the relationship between each factor and the successful implementation of GSCM. Findings: According to the results, the evidence did not support the influence of top management commitment factor on the successful implementation of GSCM. Originality: Despite the investment of Saudi Arabia in the field of education, health etc.; there are still few internal factors that hinder the implementation of GSCM. Hence, the study holds significance since it discusses the context of Saudi Arabia which was fond to be ignored in the literature review. However, all other factors showed a significant influence on the supply chain management. In addition, the research model helped to provide an understanding of the internal factors that can influence the successful implementation of GSCM in Saudi Arabia.
