       摘要:供应商创新主动性与绿色供应链采用之间的关系受到了世界各地企业管理者的极大关注。本研究旨在探讨阿克拉大都会地区制造业企业的绿色供应链采纳、供应商创新主动性和绩效之间的关系。方法:本研究采用探索性研究设计,采用定量研究方法。一份结构化问卷被用来收集数据,在阿克拉大都会的20家预检合格的制造企业使用有目的和简单的随机抽样技术。本研究采用多元线性回归方法,对阿克拉大都市地区的绿色供应链采用、供应商创新主动性与制造企业绩效之间的关系进行了研究。结果:研究发现绿色供应链创新主动性和驱动因素(外部影响)对绿色供应链管理采用具有显著的正向影响。此外,研究发现绿色供应链管理的采用对阿克拉大都会制造业企业的绩效有显著的正向影响。结论:我们建议阿克拉大都会的制造业企业应继续引入绿色实践和绿色创新举措,以实现绿色供应链管理。这对于确认环境、经济和社会收益的成就以及供应链绩效的改善至关重要。未来的研究应该引入一个调节变量,如信息技术,以确定它如何与研究中的其他变量相互作用。

  Abstract: The relationship between the supplier innovation initiative and the green supply chain adoption has received a great deal of interest from business managers across the world. The study sought to examine the relationship between green supply chain adoption, supplier innovation initiative, and performance of manufacturing firms in the Accra Metropolis. Methodology: The study employed a quantitative approach by adopting an exploratory research design. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data from 20 pre-quali- fied manufacturing firms in the Accra Metropolis using purposive and simple random sampling techniques. Multiple linear regression techniques were used to examine the relationship between green supply chain adoption, supplier innovation initiative, and manufacturing firms’ performance in the Accra Metropolis. Results: The study found that innovation initiatives and drivers of the green supply chain (external influences) have statistically significant positive effects on the green supply chain management adoption. Also, it was found that green supply chain management adoption has a statistically significant positive impact on the performance of the manufacturing firms in the Accra Metropolis. Conclusion: We recommend that manufacturing firms in Accra Metropolis should continue to introduce a mix of green practices and green innovation initiatives to achieve GSCM. This is crucial to affirm the accomplishment of environmental, economic, and social gains and improved performance in the supply chain. Future studies should introduce a moderating variable such as information technology to ascertain how it interacts with the other variables in the study.
