“…coverage and cost) is another widely-discussed factor. For example, Rashidi and Saen (2018) found that SSD is a dynamic process that requires a gradual or stepwise approach. Relatively less attention has been given to characteristics, such as the market context, the complexity of the sustainability concept, or the interrelationship among several contingencies.…”

“…Effective supplier management is very important in the current global context as many firms are spending a larger amount of money on purchasing goods and services from external suppliers (Zimmer, Fr€ ohling, and Schultmann 2016;Rashidi and Saen 2018). Supplier management has traditionally focussed on four broad operational measures of supplier performance, i.e.…”

Many buying firms are implementing sustainability-oriented supplier development (SSD) projects. This paper provides a systematic literature review on the SSD process and develops a future research agenda. A total of 83 papers are analyzed according to their research content and using contingency theory variables, i.e. contingencies and response actions, and contingency forms of fit that influence performance outcomes. Although there has been a considerable focus on contingency factors in the SSD literature, explicit use of the contingency fit perspective has been limited. A conceptual framework is developed and supported by a series of research recommendations to provide a holistic view of SSD and a starting point for future research. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first paper to focus specifically on reviewing the SSD literature. The contingency theory lens provides a promising theoretical perspective for understanding how SSD initiatives can be successfully embedded in the supply chain.

Purpose -There is great uncertainty and volatility in the evaluation and measurement of green supplier satisfaction. The purpose of this paper is to fill this gap based on the information entropy theory (IET) to describe the probability of green supplier satisfaction degree. Design/methodology/approach -The authors introduce a formal model using analytic hierarchy process (AHP), IET and entropy technique for order preference by similarity to an ideal solution (TOPSIS) method to evaluate green supplier satisfaction and promote them for the better implementation of green supply chain management practices. Findings -The first finding is developing an effective framework for green supplier satisfaction, incorporating various measures of environmental dimension. Second, a hybrid uncertainty decision method is introduced, by integrating AHP and IET and entropy-TOPSIS. Research limitations/implications -One of the main limitations of the research is that the authors introduced a conceptual example. Real-world applications need to investigate the accuracy and effectiveness of these measures, and the operational feasibility of this method. Originality/value -This is one of the first works to provide a comprehensive appraisal model for evaluation of green supplier satisfaction. This study and research method can form general guidelines, and organizations can increasingly benefit from using green supplier satisfaction evaluation as a management tool. Green supplier satisfaction evaluation is just the beginning.

“…Its most effective practices included ensuring that SCs have experts on staff, demonstrate prior experience, and SC top management demonstrate commitment to SDPPs. Through SDPPs, a long list of SCs for sourcing can be prepared and after initial evaluations, SDPP SCs will be selected through a well-defined and fair pre-qualification process (Rashidi & Saen, 2018). In order to be successful, the GC should go beyond traditional relationships with SCs to demonstrate high levels of commitment that will ensure that the SDP is beneficial to both the GC and SC.…”

“…Buying organizations in the manufacturing sector have addressed similar challenges in the performance of their network of suppliers for specialized products and processes by developing and implementing supplier development practices for improved performance (Hahn et al , 1990; Amad et al , 2008). Buyer–supplier relationships, as inter-organizational or intra-organizational relationships, are formed to improve operational and environmental performance, as well as competitive advantage for both buyer and supplier in a dyadic exchange context (Autry and Golicic, 2010; Rashidi and Saen, 2018; Agan et al , 2016). The relationship between the development of green suppliers and their performance is statistically significant, with green supplier development as a mediating relationship between green procurement and supplier performance (Kumar and Rahman, 2016; Biome et al , 2014).…”

PurposeThis paper presents a conceptual model of effective subcontractor development practices to guide general contractors' development of a network of high-performing subcontractors (SCs) for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) projects.Design/methodology/approachDrawing from supplier development theories and practices in the manufacturing sector, a mixed interpretivist and empirical methodology is adopted to examine the body of knowledge within literature for conceptual model development. A self-reporting survey questionnaire with a five-point Likert scale is used to assess 30 construction professionals' perceptions of the effectiveness of 37 SC development practices classified into five categories. Descriptive statistics, weighted means, and t-tests are used for data analysis.FindingsSC prequalification, commitment, incentives, evaluation and feedback practices can be effective in generating high-performing SCs. Practices that require more direct involvement and linkages between GC and SC are perceived to be less effective.Research limitations/implicationsTheoretical contributions include a framework to foster future research to advance knowledge and understanding to enhance the adoption of SC development practices in the construction sector.Practical implicationsImplementation of ranked SC development practices can equip GCs with a network of high-performing SCs for improved competitive advantage and revenues.Originality/valueThe proposed conceptual model expands discussions on the modification of supplier development theories and practices currently utilized in the manufacturing sector toward their application in the construction sector. This research differs from previous research, which primarily focused on the manufacturing sector.
