“…Thus, this study aims to investigate the moderating effect of institutional pressure on green capabilities and practices. Institutional pressures from government agencies, customers and competitors influence organisations to implement green initiatives (Kumari and Patil, 2019; Schmidt et al , 2017; Lee, 2008). One example is to obtain ISO 14001 certifications for clean production.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to ascertain the green-purchasing capabilities required to ensure the successful implementation of green-purchasing practices under the forces of institutional pressure. Specifically, this paper explores the green-purchasing capabilities of buyer firms under the influence of institutional pressures in supplier selection, development, collaboration and evaluation in support of environmental purchasing. Design/methodology/approach Questionnaire survey method was used to gather data from 163 ISO 14001-certified manufacturing firms in Malaysia. Partial least squares was used for hypotheses testing. Findings Green-purchasing capabilities, such as manufacturing, financial, intraorganisational and integration capabilities, have a significant positive effects on green-purchasing practices. However, innovation capabilities have no significant effect on green-purchasing practices. Regulation, customer and competitor pressure positively moderate the relationships between green manufacturing capabilities and practices. Practical implications The paper highlights the importance of green-purchasing capabilities in enhancing the green-purchasing practices of firms. The findings that pertain to moderating effect could be used to assist policy makers, particularly in setting appropriate policies and strategies to improve green purchasing. Originality/value Although more studies on green purchasing have been conducted in recent years, issues, such as the effect of green-purchasing capabilities on green-purchasing practices, are still unspecified. Besides, this study considers institutional pressure as the moderator when a model is constructed to exemplify the relationship between green-purchasing capabilities and practices.

“…Hence, PEB needs to be considered from the SC managers' perspective. Furthermore, developing countries usually suffer from the absence of proper governance mechanisms, which acts as a barrier to implementing green practices (Kumari and Patil Yogesh, 2019). Our study thus contributes to the literature in the area of TPB by adding the unique context of SC decision makers in the developing country environment to the study of PEB.…”

“…The responses to these obstacles vary in different contexts. Kumari and Patil Yogesh (2019) reported that the managers working in developing countries face immense pressure due to poor management support and commitment, thus impacting their environmental concerns. Based on the above literature, we argue that the organizational barriers directly influence the intentions to delve into PEB.…”

PurposeSupply chain (SC) managers influence firms in incorporating green behavior throughout the value chain in functions such as purchasing, production, distribution and transportation. In this study, we aim to understand the antecedents of pro-environmental behavior (PEB) in SC managers.Design/methodology/approachWe develop a research model hypothesizing a direct role of SC managers' private green behaviors, subjective norms, personal and organizational barriers as factors influencing the manager's pro-environmental intentions. We also analyze the impact of these intentions on actual behavior. We surveyed managers working in the SC of manufacturing firms in a developing country and tested the research model using structural equation modeling.FindingsOur results indicate that SC managers' personal barriers significantly influence intentions to act pro-environmentally and these intentions then predict their actual behavior. However, SC managers' private green behaviors do not spill over to their workplace. Furthermore, the study shows that organizational-level barriers and subjective norms may reverse green intentions.Originality/valueThis study contributes to the research literature by identifying the role of organizational, personal and social factors in modifying the SC managers' intentions. It provides useful insights into how these factors affect the behavior of SC managers. Thus, we extend prior work in the area of PEB to the SC environment.

“…Agriculture driven by perishable products such as fruits and vegetables has seen good production but poor utilisation (Ganguly 2011). There has been a serious concern for poor utilisation of fruits and vegetables adding to wastage (Kumari and Patil 2019). This has resulted in a shift towards the value addition of the perishable products resulting in the AVC.…”

“…Many cooperatives lack technology adoption in adding value to agriculture commodities (Kumari, Jeble, and Patil 2018). Technology adoption is often driven by different barriers such as an investment, complexity of the technology, poor technical skills (Kumari and Patil 2019), poor knowledge and lack of awareness by the cooperatives. The study through a case study approach has tried to integrate the collective action by farmers.…”

Indian agriculture has always been less profitable. Several factors contribute to the low profitability in agriculture, but less value addition, weak value chain system and weak market linkage are some of the most important factors. Producer companies are helping small farmers to emerge in the market. The farmer producer organisations (FPOs) linked with the producer companies are the best example of collective actions. The collective actions for the agriculture value chain (AVC) have resulted in a decrease in the cost and an increase in revenue. FPO and producer company find a good place in the underpinning theory of collective action theory. This study examines various successful examples of strengthening AVC through cooperatives and tried to identify various factors responsible for the success of these collectives. This study has adopted a case study approach. Three successful cases, that is, Vasundhara Agriculture Horticulture Producer Company Ltd: a multi-state FPO, Abhinav Farms Club and Sahyadri Farmer Producer Company have been selected for the case study based on their successful interventions for strengthening the agriculture value chain. Primary and secondary data has been collected through telephonic interviews from the board of directors, chairman and the members of the FPO. Both primary and secondary data have been collected to compare the three cases for AVC models. The data has been analysed using a comparative case study approach. The parameters of AVC have been identified using the Delphi technique. The study has found that collective actions have helped the farmers to strengthen the agriculture value chain. The study also concluded that leadership played an important role in defining the success of the FPOs. The study brings out future directions to excel in AVC through collectives.
