Abstract
The investigation intends to contribute to the growing interest among academics and practitioners worldwide by advancing knowledge of how manufacturers can improve their 3P (planet, profit, and people) performance through systemic mechanisms. The objectives of this research are to (1) assess the effect of lean six sigma practices and green culture on developing circular manufacturing capabilities among manufacturers and (2) assess how such developed circular manufacturing capabilities translate into better 3P performance in the backdrop of Industry 4.0 technologies. In pursuit of the stated objectives, the research team conducted a survey of 232 manufacturers and analyzed the collected data using the structural equation modeling approach. The assessment demonstrates that the enactment of lean six sigma practices and the adoption of a green culture have a significant and positive influence on the development of circular manufacturing capabilities. This, in turn, leads to improvements in environmental, economic, and social performance (i.e., 3P performance). Further, it has been found that the utilization of Industry 4.0 technologies by manufacturers has a significant moderating effect on the impact of their circular manufacturing capabilities on their 3P performance. The results have substantial implications for administrators looking to streamline their adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies and lean six sigma practices and cultivate a green culture to enhance their competitive advantage and boost their reputation.
期刊介绍:
Business Strategy and the Environment (BSE) is a leading academic journal focused on business strategies for improving the natural environment. It publishes peer-reviewed research on various topics such as systems and standards, environmental performance, disclosure, eco-innovation, corporate environmental management tools, organizations and management, supply chains, circular economy, governance, green finance, industry sectors, and responses to climate change and other contemporary environmental issues. The journal aims to provide original contributions that enhance the understanding of sustainability in business. Its target audience includes academics, practitioners, business managers, and consultants. However, BSE does not accept papers on corporate social responsibility (CSR), as this topic is covered by its sibling journal Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management. The journal is indexed in several databases and collections such as ABI/INFORM Collection, Agricultural & Environmental Science Database, BIOBASE, Emerald Management Reviews, GeoArchive, Environment Index, GEOBASE, INSPEC, Technology Collection, and Web of Science.
