Abstract

Green supply chain management (GSCM) has become more and more important to the automobile industry and emerging as a new management mantra owing to various reasons, including the need to become more environmental friendly, cost effective and competitive. There could be several driving forces, including competitive pressure, regulatory pressure, etc., but there exist certain pre-requisites such as the level of employee engagement with the environment attitude. When these characteristics are deeply rooted in the organizational culture, they may help improve the GSCM practices in the organization. In this connection, this article aims to investigate GSCM practices of the automobile industry in India and also examines the moderating role of environment attitude in the employees’ engagement to understand whether it leads to an improvement in the GSCM practices. This study is important because there is no empirical research evidence on how the interaction between environment attitude and the employees’ engagement in the automobile industry alters GSCM practices.
