| dc.description.abstract | The primary aim of this research was to investigate the effect of green behaviour intention on the adoption green supply chains management practices. Additionally, the study sought to explore the mediating role of green organisational climate, in influencing the relationship between green behaviour intention and green supply chain practices. The research addressed four key objectives (1) to examine the relationship between green behaviour intention and green supply chain management practices, (2) to examine the relationship between green organisational climate green and green supply chain practices, (3) to examine the direct relationship between green behaviour intentions and green organisational climate, and (4) to examine the mediating role of green organisational climate on the relationship between green behaviour intentions and green supply chain practices. A sample of 100 firms were selected using a convenience sampling technique. Data collection was facilitated through the use of structured surveys questionnaires administered through Google Forms. Subsequently, Smart PLS4, version 23, was employed to analyze the collected data. The study's findings revealed several important insights. Firstly, a positive and statistically significant relationship was observed between individuals' green behaviour intentions and green supply chain practices, supporting the first hypothesis (H1). Additionally, the study identified a positive and significant link between green behaviour intentions and green organisational climate, thus confirming the second hypothesis (H2). Furthermore, it was evident that a green organisational climate positively and significantly correlate with the adoption of green supply chain practices, supporting the third hypothesis (H3). Lastly, the research revealed that the interplay between green behaviour intention and a green organisational climate contributed to an increase in green supply chain practices, therefore supporting hypothesis (H4). Based on these findings, the study offers practical recommendations. It suggests that management should prioritize training and educating employees to foster an understanding of the prerequisites and requirements for sustainable supply chain practices, thereby facilitating the transition towards greener and more environmentally responsible supply chain operations. | |
