dc.description.abstract | This research explores the influence of modern vendor selection practices on sustainability within the cement industry of Pakistan. A quantitative approach was employed, collecting data from 152 employees across five major cement corporations in the country. The study particularly focused on four key aspects: vendor trust, commitment, communication, and cooperation, with sustainability as the dependent variable. Results demonstrated a significant positive correlation between these aspects and sustainability. Regression analysis revealed that vendor trust, commitment, and communication had a statistically significant positive impact on sustainability. ANOVA results further confirmed the significance of the regression model. The findings suggest that modern vendor selection practices greatly affect the sustainability efforts of cement companies in Pakistan. Specifically, vendors who are trusted, committed, and communicate effectively tend to contribute more to sustainable practices within the industry. The study concludes that fostering strong relationships with vendors, improving communication channels, and prioritizing sustainability in vendor selection criteria are vital for enhancing sustainability in the cement industry. These findings have important implications for both academia and industry, providing insights into the mechanisms through which vendor selection practices can influence sustainability outcomes. Moreover, the research contributes to the growing body of knowledge on sustainable supply chain management, particularly within the context of the cement industry in Pakistan. Future research could further explore the dynamics of vendor relationships and their impact on sustainability, as well as investigate additional factors that may influence sustainable practices in the industry. | en_US |
