Green Supply Chain Management’s efforts and some other factors ofthe organization on the
performance of the firm basically on SME’s (small and medium) enterprises who in the
electronics industry serves as a supplier to a large number of customers.

Chain Management (GSCM) practices and business execution through three definitive
factors (employee satisfaction, operational productivity and relational proficiency) as the
mediators. The information which is gathered is through questionnaires, from different
people especially the people related to SME's. Dependency, goodness of fit and cronbach
alpha are the measuring tools which will be used to obtain the results. Basic condition models
will be utilized to test the hypotheses relating Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM)
practices and business performance.

independent and dependent variables. The findings of this research is also supporting my
hypothesis that there is a positive relationship between Internal environmental management

and Business Performance which are all carried out by Green Supply Chain Management.
There will be an improvement ifthe independent variables improves and it plays a vital role

previous studies in other parts of the world. SMEs industry believes that GSCM practices

capabilities of SME suppliers.
