“…Post and Byron (2015) limited the focus of their meta-analysis to the relationship between female board members and the financial performance of companies. Two gender-specific reviews were done by Medina-Arnaiz (2010), whose focus was only on Spanish procurement policies and by Sarter (2020) whose focus was on German public procurement facilitation. All these reviews were limited, either because of focus on a specific country or a specific aspect affecting gender issues.…”

A nők helyzetével számos kutatás foglalkozik. Ez a cikk átfogó irodalmi áttekintést nyújt arról, hogy hogyan jelenik meg a téma a nemzetközi beszerzési és közbeszerzési kutatásokban. A vállalati és a közbeszerzésre egyaránt összpontosító 45 lektorált cikk elemzése feltárja a publikációs fókusz, a publikációs gyakoriság, a vezető folyóiratok, a legfontosabb szerzők, a használt kulcsszavak, a köz- és a magánszektor közötti hasonlóságok stb. tendenciáit. Ezen túlmenően a tanulmány kiemeli a szakirodalomban tárgyalt, nemekkel kapcsolatos meglévő problémák négy fő témáját: az üvegplafonhatás, a csapat sokszínűsége, a beszállítói sokszínűség és a készségkészletek. A tanulmány ezen a területen a jövőbeni kutatások lehetséges területeit is felveti. Fontos, hogy a cikk hangsúlyozza a nők egyenlő esélyeivel kapcsolatos megfontolások társadalmi jelentőségét a beszerzési kutatásban, különösen annak fényében, hogy a társadalmilag felelős beszerzés egyre fontosabbá válik a fenntarthatósági célok előmozdítása szempontjából.

“…The results of the following study are much different from previous studies although the study also occurred in developed countries. The large number of tenders offered by governments in developed countries, for example Germany, does not have a significant effect on the success rate of SMEs [9]. SME participation in developed countries also faces several problems related to procurement procedures, the number of participating SMEs and the total tender volume [10].…”

Responsibility for the environment began by large companies and the following by SMEs to jointly reduce the negative impacts caused by economic activities. However, the involvement of SMEs in green public procurement is still a relatively new process, especially for developing countries compared to developed countries. The preparation of this article aims to find out the extent of SME participation in green public procurement. This article was compiled using a systematic literature review approach by searching for articles discussing SMEs participation in green public procurement in international journals indexed by Scopus and Google Scholars. The stages in the SLR are carried out using keywords and evaluating in more detail about SMEs participation in GPP. The use of the keyword "SMEs participation in Green Public Procurement is carried out by the compiler to filter the required articles. The results of the literature review were successfully compiled by selecting and reviewing as many as 28 indexed international journals that were in accordance with the research objectives. This research still has limitations in terms of the number of articles reviewed. Therefore, further research is needed to add to the strengthening of theories and the formulation of appropriate policies, especially the participation of SMEs in maintaining environmental sustainability.

“…Public procurement is an important public policy tool suitable for pursuing a wide range of policy goals, including those that are economic, social (Bassarab et al, 2019;Ortega & O'Brien, 2017), and environmental (McCrudden, 2004). According to Sarter (2020), public spending through procurement may be employed to promote regional development, create new jobs, and foster decent employment conditions and equal opportunities. A major form of public procurement is green public procurement (GPP), defined as "a process whereby public authorities seek to procure goods, services and works with a reduced environmental impact throughout their life cycle when compared to goods, services and works with the same primary function that would otherwise be procured" (Alhola et al, 2019, p. 97; see also Pacheco-Blanco & Bastante-Ceca, 2016).…”

“…Most papers dealing with GPP tend to be technically oriented and lay strong emphasis on the use of mathematical and other optimization models while showing relatively little interest in the nature of decision-making about GPP on the part of politicians and administrators. However, a crucial fact about this decision-making is that despite being highly formalized and regulated by European and national laws (Sarter, 2020), it retains a considerable discretionary component. This fact may not be unique to GPP and may be generally characteristic of public procurement as an area for which some of the most influential public sector positions are responsible (Ali et al, 2018).…”

Green public procurement (GPP) is a widely recognized public policy tool that has attracted considerable scholarly research. However, much of this research has paid little attention to the nature of discretionary decision-making on the part of bureaucrats and local politicians; nor has it recognized that a crucial determinant of the implementation of GPP is the extent to which women hold administrative and political positions. While GPP tends to be discussed as a tool for promoting gender equality, we draw on feminist insights to argue that doing so may be a tool for enhancing the uptake and implementation of GPP. Utilizing the data from a large-N survey among local politicians and upper-echelon bureaucrats in the Czech Republic, we develop a path analysis model exploring the influence of gender on their decision-making. The results give credence to our overall argument that women are more likely to promote GPP. This argument not only breaks new ground by revealing the gendered nature of GPP but also generates straightforward policy implications.
