“…Previous studies on the links and congruence between feared-self, landfill awareness, and cigarette butts littering behaviour, however, disputed the findings. Contrary to previous research, it was observed that the construct of fearedself had a beneficial impact on cigarette butts littering behaviour, and that the congruence of the feared self and landfill knowledge did not help reduce cigarette butts littering behaviour (Gatersleben et al, 2019;Mathiyazhagan et al, 2018). Recent studies examined the moderating effect of social awareness (Kaufmann et al, 2016;Mathiyazhagan Zogaj et al, 2021), and this effect was consistent with previous research findings (Baptiste, 2008;Kollmuss & Agyeman, 2002;Kollmuss & Agyeman, 2002;Rasool et al, 2021;Xu et al, 2013).…”

“…Landfill awareness should be prioritised in all government and private sectors to instil awareness in the public and reduce cigarette littering behaviour (Sengupta et al, 2010). It is shown that, generally, environmental awareness is a strong driver in achieving environmental goals (Mathiyazhagan, et al, 2018). For instance, awareness of nearby participation has proven large and favourable impact on customer intention to use renewable energy with low impact on the environment (Irfan et al, 2021) and adopt eco-friendly lifestyle behaviours (Cammarelle et al, 2021).…”

Although litter prevention has environmental, social and economic benefits, cigarette butts are the most littered item on earth. While there has been vast research into the relationship between different factors affecting consumer behaviour, further research is needed to examine the antecedents of consumer sustainable behaviour. The aim of this study is to test the impact of feared self and landfill awareness on the sustainable behaviour of consumers using a structural equation modelling approach. Primary data of consumers are used to validate the hypothesised model. The findings highlight that feared self has a positive impact on the sustainable behaviour of consumers, while feared-self congruency and landfill awareness do not affect consumer sustainable behaviour. As for the implications, the results can support academics and strategic managers in the design process of sustainable consumer awareness programs to achieve environmental, social and economic benefits in the era of circular economy.

“…Jakhar et al (2018) and Sajan et al (2017) study the impact of lean manufacturing on environmental practices in the SCM (green supply chain management (GSCM)) using surveys with SEM. Mathiyazhagan et al (2018), Luthra and Mangla (2018), Padhi et al (2018) and Raj and Srivastava (2018) use multicriteria decision making (MCDM) methods to study the social and environmental practices in the SCM, as well as SSCM performance. Panigrahi and Rao (2018) and Luthra et al (2016) employ MCDM methods to study the critical success factors and barriers to sustainable SCM in the Indian industry.…”

Purpose Sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) is a relatively new sub-field of supply chain management (SCM). The performance of SSCM is based on the triple bottom line approach encompassing people-planet-profit, hence being defined not in only in social and environmental terms, but also the economic. The purpose of this paper is to develop an integrated study which uses antecedent-practices-performance principles in order to determine the drivers of SSCM practices, and the impact of these practices on sustainable supply chain performance. The importance of the study lies in the fact that the Indian Government is making significant efforts to boost the manufacturing sector, and sustainability is among the significant imperatives for Indian manufacturing to be competitive globally. Design/methodology/approach A conceptual model based on the antecedents-practices-performance principles was developed, and included six constructs identified from the literature: the drivers being the motivators of sustainability, lean management (LM) and supply management (SM), the practices were the environmental and social practices in the supply chain and, finally, the sustainable supply chain performance; eight hypotheses were conceived in the model development process. The survey instrument was conceptualised from an in-depth study of literature and was employed to conduct a survey of 211 operations and supply chain managers and functional heads from the Indian manufacturing industry. The scales were validated by employing the confirmatory factor analysis, followed by structural equation modelling to develop the structural relationships between the constructs using Amos 20.0. Findings The results of the SEM suggest that the antecedents, i.e. motivators, LM and SM, have a significant bearing on environmental and social practices in the SCM; these practices, in turn, also have a positive relationship with SSCM performance (except the relationship between LM and social practices in SCM) with acceptable goodness-of-fit measures. Thus out of the eight hypotheses, seven can be said to statistically significant. Research limitations/implications In addition to the motivators of sustainability, the study based on extant literature has considered LM and SM among the drivers of sustainability in SCM. The study has also identified that in earlier studies, the focus has been on environmental practices, and this integrated study has also included social practices in the supply chain. Originality/value This study suggests that sustainability performance may also be realised through lean and SM principles; an integrated perspective has been adopted with the consideration of both environmental and social practices. Further, the proposed model represents a novel integration of literature from diverse domains such as environmental management, business ethics and corporate social responsibility as well as performance management.

“…This technique is used extensively in solving a variety of problems e.g. supplier selection for green supply chain (Hsu et al, 2013); cost effective sustainable manufacturing system (Nujoom et al 2019): enablers and barriers related to sustainable manufacturing (Bhanot et al 2017); challenges in implementing environmental sustainability in automobile manufacturing (Mathiyazhagan et al 2018); structured model for drivers of sustainable consumption and production (Luthra et al 2017), etc. The DEMATEL analysis has been done using Python program wherein algorithm has been developed based on existing steps (Hsu et al 2013).…”

The Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises engaged in manufacturing activities are facing various environmental challenges encompassing material and energy consumption; waste generation and disposal; water and air pollution; etc. Hence, it becomes important to adopt policies, strategies, and technologies, which may help to bring down the adverse impacts of manufacturing on the environment. In this context, the current study identified the 15 critical environmental sustainability indicators to gauge the impact of their manufacturing activities on the environment taking a case of lock manufacturing industries. To understand the interdependence among the selected indicators, the study further utilizes an integrated DEMATEL-MMDE-ISM approach to analyse the inputs of industry professionals. The results of the study highlighted that design of products, which can be disassembled, reused, or recycled and are free from hazardous materials play a significant role in enhancing the environmental sustainability of the concerned industry. The study is expected to aid decision-makers (industry practitioners and academic researchers) to identify strategic areas in order to achieve higher environmental sustainability in manufacturing organizations.
