Green supply chain management has emerged as a critical strategic approach for improving environmental sustainability and organizational performance in manufacturing firms. However, existing literature remains limited and missed the mechanisms and contextual conditions that shape these relationships. This study examines the relationship between green supply chain management and organizational performance through green operational capability as mediating mechanism, while considering perceived governmental environmental signaling intensity as moderated mediator. The study employed a quantitative research approach with explanatory research design. The data were collected from 327 respondents who are working in manufacturing factories. Data were analyzed using Smart PLS to test both the measurement and structural models. The findings show that green supply chain management has significant effect on organizational performance and green operational capability. Green operational capability also significantly enhances organizational performance and mediated the relationship between green supply chain management and organizational performance. Furthermore, perceived governmental environmental signaling intensity significantly strengthen the relationship between green supply chain management and green operational capability then influence the organizational performance which confirm moderated mediation effect. This study suggests that manufacturing firms institutionalize green supply chain management as a strategic capability. Policymakers should strengthen clear and consistent environmental signaling to enhance firm responsiveness. Managers should develop green operational capabilities to effectively translate sustainability practices into improved organizational performance and long-term competitive advantage.

The escalating demand for items and their consumption has exerted immense pressure on industrial production and supply chain systems, leading to adverse environmental and societal consequences. The rise in pollution rates and ecological disasters resulting from industrial production has prompted numerous scholars and industry specialists to focus on Sustainable Production and Consumption matters within the framework of Sustainable Supply Chain Management (SSCM). The interest in sustainable supply chain management has significantly increased in recent years, spanning both business and academic sectors. This phenomenon is seen in the growing prevalence of papers, conferences, specialized periodicals, and websites exclusively focused on the subject matter. Nevertheless, the importance of sustainable development in developing economies has only just started to be acknowledged. This literature review aims to assess existing research on sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) in developing nations while considering a worldwide perspective. This paper thoroughly examines the rapid expansion of the subject from an evolutionary perspective; aimed at comprehending the progression of sustainability concerns by examining patterns across different industries, and economies, and employing diverse approaches. An extensive thematic analysis was conducted on 56 selected publications published between 2010 and 2023, emphasizing the growth and significance of the knowledge base. The analysis is conducted utilizing a descriptive and content-oriented methodology. Subsequently, the results are presented, demonstrating an increasing interest in Sustainable Supply Chain Management (SSCM). Nevertheless, there is a conspicuous discrepancy in the extent of research carried out on this subject in emerging economies as opposed to industrialized ones. The findings indicate that the context in less developed countries plays a crucial role in carrying out empirical or case study research. Moreover, it is crucial to analyze how the integration of the three dimensions of sustainability impacts the efficiency of the supply chain, especially when considering the perspective of an emerging economy. Hence, the limitations of this investigation are delineated. Ultimately, it is crucial to do further research from multiple angles within the supply chain, encompassing collaboration, sustainable practices, innovation, sourcing, and supplier growth, with a special emphasis on the position and background of rising countries.

This study uses the Resource-Based View (RBV) and technology, organization, and environment (TOE) theories to examine how smart supply chain (SSC) practices affect financial performance (FP) in enterprises of various sizes. Our results show that SSC benefits larger enterprises more financially than smaller firms. SSC has a statistically significant effect on green supply chain management (GSCM) and sustainable supply chain performance (SSCP), and the strength of the relationship declines with a decline in firm size. Smaller enterprises are more receptive to competitive pressure and implement GSCM alongside SSC. Our findings show that SSCP improves financial performance, while GSCM does not, even in large enterprises. Further, mediation effects show that GSCM mediates the relationship between SSC and SSCP, whereas it does not mediate between SSC and FP across all sizes. The impact of SSC on FP is sequentially mediated via GSCM and SSCP. Using a non-linear approach (ANN), we also rank independent variables for small, medium, and large firms. Our research provides important implications.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the direct effects of environmental sustainability orientation (ESO) on green supply chain management (GSCM), ESO on sustainable performance (SP), and GSCM on sustainable performance (SP). It also examines the indirect effect of GSCM on SP through the mediating role of GSCM. Moreover, it tests the moderating role of environmental collaboration (EC) between GSCM and SP. A total of 155 survey questionnaires were collected from firms with ISO 14000 certification in the manufacturing sector in Algeria. The gathered data was examined using (PLS-SEM) model. The findings showed positive effects between ESO, GSCM, and SP. However, no such effect was detected for the moderating role of environmental collaboration on the links between GSCM and SP. The limitation of this study was the use of only firms with ISO 14000 certification, so future studies should consider a wider range of firms and different scales. Regarding environmental problems, firms in Algeria can apply ESO and GSCM to achieve sustainable performance.
