Abstract
Background and Objectives: The present study was conducted to investigate the effect of green supply chain management capabilities on sustainable supply chain performance with emphasis on the role of environmental performance and organizational logic for sustainability. The research domain is Bel Rouzaneh Dairy Company. The importance of the subject arises from the fact that nowadays, sustainability and attention to environmental and organizational factors are recognized as a competitive advantage in supply chains.
Materials and Methods: This research is applied, cross-sectional, and descriptive in nature. The statistical population includes experts and managers of the supply chain, purchasing, production, sales, and marketing units of Bel Rouzaneh Dairy Company. Sampling was judgmental and purposeful, and individuals with at least three years of work experience and at least a bachelor's degree were selected. Data collection tools were library studies and a questionnaire, which was distributed and collected online among the statistical sample. In the data analysis process, the components were first identified with the help of research literature. The reliability of the components was then assessed using Cronbach's alpha and composite reliability. The adequacy of the sampling was confirmed using the KMO index. To address the research questions and hypotheses, confirmatory factor analysis, correlation, and path analysis were applied. The validity of the research construct was measured using AVE, Fornell–Larcker correlation table, R², Q², GOF, and VAF indices.
Results: The findings indicated that, except for discriminant validity (Fornell–Larcker correlation table), the remaining model indices were confirmed. The existence of direct and significant relationships between the variables was also validated. It was revealed that green supply chain management capabilities, organizational logic for sustainability, and environmental performance had the greatest impact on sustainable supply chain performance.
Conclusion: The results show that green supply chain management capabilities directly and indirectly (through organizational logic for sustainability and environmental performance) enhance sustainable supply chain performance. Therefore, managers’ attention to developing and strengthening green capabilities in supply processes, along with understanding the organizational logic of sustainability, can play a crucial role in long-term success and improving organizational competitiveness.
