“…Content analysis methodology has been successfully used in several studies to classify and analyze reviewed literature in multiple disciplines, such as supply chain management (SCM) and logistics (e.g. Sachan and Datta, 2005;Ibrahim et al, 2015;Wu et al, 2017;Razak and Ibrahim, 2020;Nagariya et al, 2021), TQM (e.g. Evans et al, 2014) (Vespestad and Clancy, 2021).…”

PurposeThis study aims to review the current status of quality management (QM) research in Arab countries between 2001 and 2020.Design/methodology/approachThe study adopted the content analysis methodology, searching through various databases and search engines for relevant publications using several keywords. The selected publications were classified according to several criteria and the obtained results were presented in the form of frequencies and percentages.FindingsMost research publications regarding QM were journal articles. The number of publications has steadily increased between 2001 and 2020. Moreover, QM research largely uses the quantitative research design. Questionnaire surveys are widely used as a data collection method; basic statistical analysis techniques are commonly employed to analyze the data. There is a tendency toward empirical research versus conceptual research. A few journal articles were published in reputed peer-reviewed international journals with low citation. Overall, Arab scholars research on QM and related topics over the past two decades is not significant for the field considering the number of published papers, citations and the papers published in reputed peer-reviewed international journals.Research limitations/implicationsThis study has several limitations. First, it does not cover non-English information sources due to the overall lack of Arabic publication databases. Second, it uses a limited number of criteria to classify the selected publications. Third, it adopts the content analysis methodology to classify the selected publications. This method has several limitations, which may negatively affect the results. Nevertheless, the study offers several implications for research scholars, educators and practitioners.Originality/valueThis is the first study to attempt a comprehensive overview of the state of research on QM in Arab countries between 2001 and 2020 using the content analysis methodology.

“…From these perspectives, it has been found that such practices can lead to reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and other environmental impacts. However, GSCM is a complex phenomenon and has yet to be thoroughly explored in the context of ERs and CSR [36,37]. Therefore, this research explores the GSCM with CSR and ERs in agri-food business.…”

Agri-food business supply chains have been persistently evolving with humans for ages. In the current era, environmental regulations (ERs) and corporate social responsibility (CSR) play vital roles in ensuring green supply chain management (GSCM) in the agri-food business. Therefore, this study explores the relationship between ERs and GSCM with the mediating role of CSR between these variables. ERs have two types, including command and control type (CCT) and market-based type (MBT). We used a survey questionnaire approach to collect data from the representatives of the target population. Using the convenient sampling technique, a total of 300 responses were subjected to data analysis. Partial least square structural equation modeling was applied using SmartPLS. The results indicated that CCT has a positive, direct and significant effect on GSCM in the agri-food business. Similarly, the MBT also has a significant and positive effect on GSCM. Furthermore, the results indicated that CSR played a mediated role in the relationship between CCT and GSCM. Similarly, the results indicated that CSR played a mediated role in the relationship between MBT and GSCM. Based on these results, theoretical guidelines and managerial implications were discussed for corporate GSCM in the agri-food business.

“…Being purchasing the starting point in a supply chain, and having implications downstream along the supply chain, the implementation of the environmental and social practices, should start at this phase (Rao & Kondo, 2010). In academia and business, the interest in the cross-disciplinary area of green purchasing/procurement (GP) research continues to grow mainly motivated by environmental and financial performance in response to competition, regulation, and community demands (Che-Razak & Ibrahim, 2020). For most of the companies environmental awareness has become a must rather than a choice (Ghosh, 2019), causing the revision of their production processes and supply chains with respect to environmental aspects since they are seen as the source of environmental problems (Yildiz-Çankaya & Sezen, 2019).…”

“…Most studies on GSCM practices were conducted in Asia, specifically in China. In Europe only 16 articles were conducted and only 10 out of 100 articles were exploratory (case studies) in nature (Che-Razak & Ibrahim, 2020). Also, China, USA and India dominate this discipline in terms of their impact and number of publications (Tseng, Islam, Kariab, Fauzib & Afrin, 2019;Jabbour & Stefanelli, 2021), which justifies the need to do more studies in Europe using exploratory research.…”

Purpose: This research aims to investigate which are the green purchasing practices that Portuguese manufacturing companies have been using and the relationship with company overall performance. This paper focuses on green-purchasing practices, such as green products, green suppliers, environmental collaboration with suppliers, green packaging, and reverse logistics, to ensure sustainable practices in the supply chain, and the influence of those practices on firm’s performance was investigated from the perspective of managers perception.Design/methodology/approach: A qualitative approach was adopted, based on eight case studies. Data was collected from semi-structured interviews with procurement managers from Portuguese manufacturing industry and from reports, websites and companies’ internal documentation. To analyze the impact of green purchasing practices on company overall performance a conceptual model was proposed.Findings: The results support three out of five propositions of this research, and evidence reveals that green purchasing practices improves company overall performance. Provides evidence that the implementation of those practices positively influences overall company performance, it also identifies the most frequent green purchasing practices that may help businesses in adopting environmental initiatives.Research limitations/implications: While the sample included organizations from several economic sectors, it was based on just a sample of eight case studies and the findings may not be valid in different sectors. This research focuses on green procurement from a country's perspective, which reduces the ability to generalize the findings to other countries.Practical implications: Managers might utilize the results of this study to develop and implement green purchasing practices and enhance organizations' overall performance via their adoption.Social implications: This research contributes to the current discussion in green supply chain literature.Originality/value: This study contributes to the existing body of research on the effects of implementing green purchasing practices into the procurement function.
