Yadav, Sanjeev, Choi, Tsan-Ming, Kumar, Anil, Luthra, Sunil and Naz, Farheen (2023) A meta-analysis of sustainable supply chain practices and performance: the moderating roles of type of economy and innovation. International Journal of Operations and Production Management, 43 (5). pp. 802-845. ISSN 0144-3577
Purpose – In recent years, sustainable supply chain practices (SSCP), including corporate social responsibility (CSR), have been recognised as important means of developing firms’ sustainability performance (SP). However, empirical findings on the SSCP–SP interaction are inconsistent and even contradictory. This research presents a quantitative meta-analysis that aims to uncover SSCP–SP interactions based on the correlations found in previously published empirical studies.
Design/methodology/approach – Based on the main and moderating variables and selection criteria, 64 sample studies were selected after a systematic literature review and meta-analysis.
Findings – The findings confirm a positive correlation (0.438) between SSCP and SP. The results also reveal various critical moderators identified through meta-regression.
Practical implications – This study provides insights for operations managers and policymakers regarding the significance of control variables (e.g. ISO certification, type of economy, innovation approach, data collection method) on the relationship between SSCP and SP for business operations. This research uncovers the impacts of ISO regulations and proposed hypotheses through the lens of the natural resource-based view (NRBV) and institution-based view (IBV).
Originality/value – This research is unique in that it provides a systematic view of the SSCP–SP interaction, validates the results through a theoretical lens (NRBV and IBV) and generalises the results by evaluating the moderation effects via checking prior literature.
