The Potential Effects of Green Supply Chain Management Practices on GSCM Performance: A Systematic Literature Review

Abstract

This paper seeks to conduct a comprehensive literature review regarding the effects of Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) practices on GSCM performance to synthesize findings. The objective is to present an integrated analysis that encompasses both general findings and particular outcomes that may differ based on various factors, including industry and country. A systematic literature review of 45 papers in peer-reviewed academic journals published from 2017 to Feb. 2023 is conducted. Additionally, the methodology of article selection is delineated through the utilization of the PRISMA flow diagram. The majority of the 45 papers support that GSCM practices effect directly GSCM performance. However, this support varies when examined dimensionally. Also, to increase intelligibility and clarity, information about the author(s) (year), method, sector, country, whether or not involved for both practice and performance dimensions, and finally findings for the 45 papers are given in tables briefly. Then, a synthesis of the gathered information is presented. In essence, this study furnishes precise and current insights that can guide organizational decision-making and strategic actions.
