“…GSCM reduces the environmental effect of manufacturing organizations by eliminating production waste, which reduces environmental costs and improves GSC capability and competitive advantage [38]. Adopting GSCM in all supply chain stages (green purchasing, green manufacturing, and green distribution) and all the processes (supply, manufacturing, shipping, storing, sale, and after the sale services) reduces costs and increases patient satisfaction [12]. There are relationships among green suppliers, green innovation, environmental performance, and competitive advantage.…”

“…The awareness of worldwide governments of environmental issues is increasing and some governments subsidize organizations for their green activities [7,8] Due to globalization, organizations all over the world are under pressure to balance sustainable development related to social, economic, and environmental issues [9], and to reform their activities to be competitive and sustainable [10,11]. Public awareness about environmental issues is increasing, which affects all business activities [12]. Stakeholders keep continuous pressure on organizations to perform more environmentally friendly activities, which include green supply chain activities to create a competitive advantage [13,14].…”

“…The purpose of GSCM is a clean environment in general, which includes clean and safe operations through reducing the use of hazardous substances, increased use of recycling products, renewable energy, and improving the information available to stakeholders [1]. GSCM can be defined as adopting environmental management principles in all processes and practices in and between organizations, which are the members of the supply chain [12]. GSCM is a strategy that helps to maintain social, economic, environmental, and national security [21].…”

This research aims to investigate the effect of green supply chain management (GSCM) on the competitive advantage (CA) of Jordanian pharmaceutical manufacturing (JPM) organizations. Data were collected by questionnaires from managers who were working in JPM organizations, then checked and coded against SPSS. After confirming the tool validity, reliability, and relationship between variables, the hypotheses were tested by multiple regressions. The results show that JPM organizations implement green purchasing and green selling, while weakly implementing green operations. At the same time, for CA dimensions, the results show that JPM organizations are more concerned with quality, speed (time), and reliability than cost reduction and innovation. Moreover, the results show that the relationship between GSCM and CA is very strong. The results also show that green supply chain components affect the CA of JPM organizations, where green operations have the highest effect on total CA, followed by green purchasing and finally, green selling. Additionally, the green supply chain affects CA dimensions of JPM organizations, where GSCM has the highest effect on quality, followed by innovation, then time, while GSCM does not have any significant effect on reliability and cost.

“…The main goals of supply chain management can be explained, such as increasing customer satisfaction, decreasing the cycle time, decreasing the storage costs, decreasing the product defects, and decreasing the activity costs. Green supply chain management aims to achieve these goals by integrating environmentalist approaches which minimize or eliminate wastage, including hazardous chemicals, emissions, energy, and solid waste along the supply chain [4,5,6]. As such, green supply chain management plays a vital role in influencing the total environmental impact of any element involved in supply chain activities and thus contributes to sustainability performance enhancement [7].…”

“…Eco-design considers both environmental and economic aspects associated with the life cycle of products and processes without compromising performance, functionality, and quality [9,10]. Various relevant literature and practical implementations have followed the guideline of eco-design [9] in the development of green healthcare buildings and facilities, low-energy equipment, medical equipment and material recycling, low environmental hazard drugs, low emission of greenhouse gases, efficient healthcare logistics, and so on [6,7,8,11,12,13,14,15,16]. However, these implementations were derived from the perspective of "physical goods".…”

Facilitating Green Supply Chain in Dental Care through Kansei Healthscape of Positive Emotions

Dentistry is highly energy- and resource-intensive with a significant environmental impact. To consolidate green dentistry supply chains, delivering the care of highest quality that meets client value should not be neglected. This study emphasized the importance of client-centered healthscape design for facilitating a green dentistry supply chain. A client-centered healthscape design, which promotes clients’ positive emotions and increases willingness to revisit the dentist, plays a critical role in realizing green dentistry supply chains in the long run. For this purpose, the relationship among dental healthscape design elements, client emotions, and revisit intentions was investigated using a Kansei engineering-based approach. The effects of dental healthscape elements on clients’ positive emotions and the effects of positive emotions on clients’ revisit intentions were holistically examined on the basis of the stimulus–organism–response model. Through this approach, 17 elements of design, ambience, and social interaction factors that comprise the dental healthscape and 20 Kansei words used to express clients’ positive emotions regarding dental service were identified. A questionnaire survey was used to assess Kansei and revisit intention in healthscape scenarios, composed of varied design elements. Primary data were collected from 600 individuals from 2017 to 2018 throughout Taiwan. Partial least squares was applied to holistically analyze the effects of dental healthscape elements on clients’ positive emotions and the effects of positive emotions on clients’ revisit intention to generate a Kansei model for the dental healthscape. All 20 Kansei words had significant positive effects on the dental revisit intention of clients. The five positive emotions most associated with increased revisit intention were thoughtful, hopeful, tender, comfortable, and cozy. The Kansei model of the dental healthscape provides references for healthscape design that maintains positive client emotions during the dental service and results in high revisit intention. This approach can realize an emotion-centered design for dental healthscapes that promotes preventive dental care, early treatment, and effective use of medical resources, and consequently contributes to green dentistry supply chains.

Is it an opportunity? COVID-19’s effect on the green supply chains, and perceived service’s quality (SERVQUAL): the moderate effect of big data analytics in the healthcare sector

This study examines the relationship between uncertainty-fear toward COVID-19, green supply chain management (GSCM), and perceived service quality based on the five dimensions service quality model (SERVQUAL). It also tests the moderating effect of big data analytics (BDA) capabilities. Based on a sample of 300 healthcare managers and customers, we used partial least squares structural equation modeling to analyze the data and test our hypotheses. The empirical results show that the uncertainty-fear toward COVID-19 positively affects GSCM. Also, BDA moderates the relationship between uncertainty-fear toward COVID-19 and GSCM. GSCM positively impacts service quality (empathy, responsiveness, and assurance) but not reliability or tangible items. In addition, GSCM significantly mediates the relationship between uncertainty-fear toward COVID-19 and services’ empathy, responsiveness, and assurance. However, it has an insignificant mediation effect regarding reliability and tangible-item dimensions. Graphical abstract
