A Study on the Effect of GSCM Capability on Performance: The Mediation Effect of Green Self-Efficacy

Purpose : This paper elucidates the relationship between GSCM capabilities and green self-efficacy in logistics companies and identifies the relationship that results in strong performance. Research design, data and methodology : A questionnaire analysis was implemented to target logistics enterprises registered in eastern China(Shandong Province, Jiangsu Province, Shanghai). An analysis of demographics was implemented by utilizing IBM's SPSS v. 25.0. The test hypothesis was implemented by building a structural equation model utilizing SmartPLS. Results : First, from testing hypothesis 1, we determined that a GSCM capacity had a significant effect on green self-efficacy. Second, from testing hypothesis 2, we found that green self-efficacy had a significant effect on both environmental and financial performance. Finally, from testing hypothesis 3, we found that green self-efficacy played a significant mediating role in both GSCM competency and environmental and financial performance. Conclusions : According to recent environmental changes, SCM implementation considering the environments of logistics companies is an important matter directly related to survival and competitiveness. Therefore, strengthening the GSCM capability of a logistics company will intensify the sense of green self-efficacy and as a result will have a positive effect on the company's environmental and financial performance
