绿色供应链管理对企业绩效的影响——一项元分析研究

The Impact of Green Supply Chain Management on Firm Performances: A Meta Analysis

摘要:

本文系统地分析了现有关于绿色供应链管理与企业绩效间关系的实证研究文献,并试图回答两个问题：第一,绿色供应链管理措施对各类企业绩效有何不同的影响？第二,已有实证研究结果间的差异是否可归因于调节因素的作用？本文通过元分析对所筛选后的38篇实证文献进行定量综合研究。最终发现,绿色供应链管理对企业环境绩效的影响最为明显(r = 0.517),接着是经济绩效(r = 0.432)和运营绩效(r = 0.364)。另外,所有被测的调节因素均能影响绿色供应链管理与企业绩效间的关系。特别地,对于企业规模来说,相对于小型和大型企业,中型企业的绿色供应链管理措施的实施效果更加明显。

Abstract:

This paper focuses on systematically analyzing the extant empirical literatures about the relations between green supply chain management (GSCM) and firm performances. The authors tend to answer two questions. First, how can GSCM practices influence distinct performances of buying firms? Second, how can the moderators of relationships with nuanced results affect those links? Meta-analysis is used to quantitatively synthesize the empirical results of 38 selected literatures. As a consequence, environmental performance (r = 0.517) is found to be most beneficial from GSCM practices, followed by economic (r = 0.432) and operational (r = 0.364) performances. In terms of moderators, all are tested as significant. Particularly, for the moderating effect of firm size, the results of medium-sized firms are found to be the largest. Implications and directions for future research are concluded.
