Abstract

This paper aims to explore the current stakeholder forces for sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) in the Bangladeshi garment industry. The focal point is identifying which stakeholder forces could enhance sustainable practices in the factory premises, and whether there are conflicting forces which might obstruct the sustainable practices. A qualitative research design is adopted, drawing on data from 37 semi-structured interviews with stakeholders related to garment manufacturing. Thematic analysis conceptually guides the analytical process. The findings demonstrate the supporting and hindering forces currently influencing the garment industry in Bangladesh. This paper also identifies three conflicting forces relating to economic gain, employee empowerment and global image, where trade-offs towards SSCM implementation exist. This study extends existing research relating to SSCM within the garment industry of Bangladesh, identifying differences between different stakeholder groups and recognising the conflicting forces that exist.

研究利益相关者的力量对孟加拉国服装业可持续做法的影响

本文旨在探讨当前孟加拉国服装行业利益相关者对可持续供应链管理（SSCM）的作用力。重点是确定哪些利益相关者的力量可以加强工厂的可持续实践，以及是否存在可能阻碍可持续实践的冲突力量。本研究采用定性研究设计，从与服装制造业相关的利益相关者进行的 37 次半结构式访谈中获取数据。专题分析从概念上指导了分析过程。研究结果表明了目前影响孟加拉国服装业的支持和阻碍力量。本文还确定了与经济收益、员工赋权和全球形象有关的三种相互冲突的力量，在这些力量中，对 SSCM 的实施存在权衡。本研究扩展了孟加拉国服装行业内有关 SSCM 的现有研究，确定了不同利益相关者群体之间的差异，并认识到了存在的冲突力量。
