Abstract

Purpose: Green supply chain management (GSCM) has important purposes related to environmental performance, such as risk control, meeting marketplace expectations, achieving good commercial enterprise performance and complying with regulations. Since green supply chain management (GSCM) has been rapidly evolved since the first introduction in 1980 era. Most of the published papers are focusing on the performance measurement and evaluation of stakeholders but there are more areas that can be discussed. This paper is intended to investigate the factors that affecting the awareness level of GSCM implementation.
Design/methodology/approach: A systematic literature review has been made on several selected journal papers related to GSCM practices. These articles are mainly discussing the factors that affecting the adoption and implementation of GSCM in an organization.
Findings: From literature review, a total of twelve factors have been identified that will affect the implementation of GSCM and these factors can be categorised into four main categories which are the internal motivating, external motivating, internal demotivating and external demotivating.
Research limitations/implications: This study is filling the gap in the literature about the adoption and implementation of GSCM in construction industry.
Practical implications: Findings from this study will assist GSCM practitioners, authorities and stakeholders in the supply chain in construction industry to insight into key factors of GSCM.
Originality/value: A systematic literature review which assessing the factors that affecting the implementation and adoption of GSCM in Malaysia’s construction industry which is not attempted previously.
