Transformational Leadership, Organizational Culture and Employee Performance.

Abstract

Purpose The research focuses on the five factors of global supply chain management techniques that assure pharmaceutical firms' successful environmental performance including institutional pressure, TQM, JIT, and environmental orientation. TQM and JIT are distinct topics; but only SC related issues are addressed here. Whereas the institutional pressure and environmental orientation are specific to the area of SCM as well in a way that the way they can influence the GSCM practices are discussed and assessed precisely. Methodology & Design This research is based on deductive research method and interpretativism is the selected metaphysical view for the study. This mono-method study includes just one research method that is quantitative research. For this research the focus is on Pakistan where Karachi is specifically focused where diverse industries are concerned; this specific research is specifically considering pharmaceutical industry which is practicing Green Supply Chain Management procedures and it is further specified to pharmaceutical companies of Karachi (Pakistan). The sample size is 200 while 20 companies have been chosen; 10 employees from each organization have been selected using cluster sampling. Smart PLS has been used further for the data analysis where different tests have been performed to get final results. Findings GSCM practices are directly related to the organizations’ environmental performance; the organizations which are concerned about the safety and security of the environment are the ones who practice GSCM. It is proved that JIT, TQM and EO are GSCM practices and so when any organization use them then it eventually demonstrates positive environmental performance. Yet in Pakistan, the concept is novel and so not much companies are practicing GSCM practices to a greater extent. If the organizations implement GSCM practices they can be beneficial for the environment and so have positive environmental performance. This not only help them improve in their own functions, but also improve their image as an organization with environmentally friendly approach. Limitations The research has limitation of time and access to the participants. However, for the management proper alternatives have been implemented. Recommendations Supply management is critical for increasing organizational competitiveness, the current study helped building awareness to benefits of green supply chain management practices in the pharmaceutical companies of Pakistan. For the effective adoption of these practices, organizations must engage with all stakeholders while optimizing the use of resources, information, and finances to optimize customer value propositions as well as profitability ofsupply chain. In this process, it reduces environmental consequences while improving social equality and well-being for all stakeholders. For the effective adoption of GSCM practices, commercial organizations must engage with all stakeholders while optimizing the use of resources, information, and finances to optimize customer value propositions as well as profitability of supply chain. Because of the dynamic nature of GSCM, researchers in this specific area of concern should delve into the literature on a regular basis to find research possibilities.
