“…This will raise the level of confidence, reliance and cooperation for several functions and operations to reach a high level of sustainable performance (Routroy, 2018). Namagembe (2020) showed that suppliers' involvement with firms enhances firms' ability to compete by adopting and sharing different technologies such as keeping pace with technological development, applying better practices, developing new products together, The effect of supplier involvement reaching markets quickly, flexibility in responding to changing demands and finally, smoothing flows of materials with optimization of using resources. All these will lead to increase financial and marketing gains through several operational logistical activities such as packaging, shipping, processing and supplying; which leads to reducing the firm's waste and improving customer satisfaction.…”

PurposeDue to the current volatile environment and fierce competition, manufacturing firms (MFs) must improve their performance to survive. In this regard, checking and monitoring the suppliers' risk should significantly improve the performance of MFs. In addition, a relation based on not being an opportunist, confidence and reliance are influential factors in reducing the supplier defaults on his/her supply obligations and improving supply chain performance (SCP). Besides, the moderator function of supplier involvement (SI) in the relationship between quality of the relationship (QoR) and supply risk mitigation (SRM) is undeniable.Design/methodology/approachBased on the survey of 148 samples from small to large-sized MFs in Jordan, Turkey and Egypt, empirical evidence has been conducted to support a majority of the authors’ hypotheses. This paper provides a theoretical review of buyer–supplier relationships and supply risk. Hypotheses were tested by using structural equation modeling (SEM)/Smart PLS-4.FindingsAccording to the results, confidence and reliance have statistically significant and positive impacts on SRM, resulting in better SCP. Moreover, the findings show that SI positively affects and moderates the relationship between confidence (C) and SRM, while it has no statistically significant influence on the relationship between reliance (R) and SRM.Practical implicationsThis study provides necessary material for managers and decision-makers in MFs to confirm the importance and understanding of the QoR in building relationships and business dealings with partners in the SC, in addition to limiting and mitigating the risks of an interruption in supply in particular. Therefore, building a high-quality relationship as a practice based on trust and reliability with suppliers positively affects the performance of the SCs of MFs.Originality/valueThis research paper offers empirical evidence for using QoR within SRM resources of MFs' context for enhancing their supply chain performance. This study is one of few studies that examine the QoR and SRM that contribute to enhancing SCP in MFs in developing countries, which also can serve as a reference for many SC managers and practitioners.

“…This collaboration also raises social responsibility levels by adopting sustainable strategies in changing environments [ 88 ]. [ 89 ] demonstrated that supplier collaboration strengthens firms' competitiveness by adopting and sharing various technologies, embracing technological advancements, implementing best practices, jointly developing new products, rapidly accessing markets, and flexibly responding to shifting demands. These collaborative efforts lead to increased financial benefits through various logistical operations, for example storing, packaging, delivery, handling of products, and procurements, which in turn reduce waste and enhance customer satisfaction.…”

“…Zhang and Huang (2017) concluded that governmental policies and regulatory frameworks correspond with energy intensity reduction in the iron steel industry. Also, environmental regulation and standards empower the adoption of environmentally friendly practices (Namagembe, 2020). In addition, participating in a green deal can transfer the industry to the low-carbon economy.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to determine the extent to which institutional pressures affect supplier and customer collaboration and how collaboration explains green supply chain performance using institutional and stakeholder theories.Design/methodology/approachThe paper builds on empirical evidence gathered from responses of Iranian industrial managers based on a self-administered survey. The hypotheses in the conceptual model are tested using Smart-PLS (partial least square).FindingsThe results provide evidence that regulatory requirements and internal motivators, as institutional pressure, enable customer and supplier collaboration. Furthermore, customer collaboration has a positive effect on supplier collaboration and, consequently, positively affects environmental and economic performance. But supplier collaboration is just positively affecting environmental performances and is not effective on economic performance.Research limitations/implicationsThe subject is that the study is a questionnaire-based survey, and the validity and reliability of the results are influenced by the respondents' idiosyncrasies. This study provides a comprehensive model of drivers, supply chain collaboration and performance in the context of the industry sector. The study contributes by providing empirical data with a focus on customer and supplier collaboration and their interrelationship in GSCM modelling.Originality/valueThe current paper is one of the new field of research which demonstrate the significance of customer and supplier collaboration with each other to attain green performance. It also contributes to show the effect of institutional pressure on the customer-supplier collaboration that fosters green performance in the supply chain.
