Contribution of components of Green Supply Chain Procurement in Green Supply Chain Performance measurement-A Pilot Empirical Study of the Indian Automobile Manufacturing Sector

Abstract

This paper is one of the several extensions of the research works done by [5]. Green Supply Chain Practices have been known to have an impact on Green Supply Chain Performance [5].This paper tests empirically through a pilot study of the Indian Automobile Manufacturing Sector, the contribution of the eleven variables constituting the construct Green Supply Chain Procurement in Green Supply Chain Performance measurement. Also the paper establishes the reliability of the questionnaire instrument developed previously for measuring the construct Green Supply Chain Procurement and also for measuring the eleven variables that constitute the construct Green Supply Chain Procurement. Further the paper establishes the correlation among these eleven variables. Finally this paper conducts Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) to arrive at three factors (linear combination of eleven variables constituting the construct Green Supply Chain Procurement) to aid in measuring the construct Green Supply Chain Procurement. Finally the paper establishes the order of contribution of the eleven variables constituting the construct Green Supply Chain Procurement.
