Abstract Details

2018, Doctor of Business Administration, Cleveland State University, Monte Ahuja College of Business.
As consumers, government, NGOs, and investors are increasingly holding supply chain organizations responsible for their environmental and social impact, firms are realizing that sustainability is no longer a buzzword; they see sustainable practices throughout the supply chain as a necessity to avoid business risks as well as opportunity for innovation and competitive advantage. Inducing management to commit to sustainability in a strategic manner that achieves desirable performance outcomes, however, can be difficult. Grounded in a multi-theoretical perspective, this dissertation develops a framework that links sustainability antecedents with supply chain practices and TBL performance outcomes. Data collected from 205 U.S. firms were analyzed using a two-step structural equation modeling (SEM) procedure. Four models derived from the framework were tested using SAS software. The study found significant relationships between antecedents (stakeholder pressures, corporate motives, proactivity, and top management commitment), sustainable supply chain practices (sourcing, operations, and logistics), and sustainability performance in all three dimensions of sustainability – economic, social, and environmental. The dissertation, based on the empirical study and theoretical models derived from it, aims to expand a current theory of sustainable supply chain management.
