AN EMPIRICAL STUDY OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF GREEN SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT PRACTICES IN THE LECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC INDUSTRY AND THEIR RELATION TO ORGANIZATIONAL PERFORMANCES
2007
This study aims to investigate the green supply chain management
practices likely to be adopted by the electrical and electronic
industry in Taiwan, which is dominated by Original Equipment
Manufacturing and Original Designing and Manufacturing manufacturers,
after the European Union implementation of the Restriction of Hazardous
Substances and Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment directives.
The relationship between green supply chain management practices and
environmental performance, as well as financial performance, is
studied. The approach of the present research includes a literature
review, in depth interviews and questionnaire surveys. The companies in
the electrical and electronic industry approved by the International
Organization for Standardization 14001 certification in Taiwan before
December 2004 were sampled for empirical study. The data were then
analyzed using statistical package for the social sciences, and
structural equation modelling was used as a path analysis model to
verify the hypothetical construction of the study. The results indicate
that the original equipment manufacturing and original designing and
manufacturing manufacturers in Taiwan's electrical and electronic
industry have adopted green procurement and green manufacturing
practices in response to the current wave of international green issues
and have generated favorable environmental and financial performances
for the respective companies.
