“…Manufacturing managers react very sensitively when unions get loud or protest, and, as a consequence, threaten their workers with job losses or a cut in salary. This explains the fear of workers to unveil reality during interviews with auditors [72,75,89]. Yu [80], and Hoang and Jones [89] further mention the low power of unions, regardless of whether it is a trade union or a corporate union.…”

“…MSIs which enjoyed the attention of scholars are the Clean Cloth Campaign (CCC), the Social Accountability 8000 (SA8000), the Fair Labour Association (FLA), and the Fair Wear Foundation (FWF) [59,[71][72][73][74]. Although some studies describe the important role of unions in improving labor standards [68,[75][76][77][78], no further study has been found that clearly analyzed the unions' influences on SSCM. Also, public or governmental regulations as drivers have found scant attention since 2005.…”

“…Social risk management, as indicated by Freise & Seuring [3], includes responsible social risk managers, activity with NGOs, use of codes of conduct or similar standards, social audits, offering incentives for compliant suppliers, cooperation with business partners beyond first tier suppliers, and policies in place for taking action if social misconduct is documented. Thus, social risk management, which is a part of the broader concept of sustainable supply chain management [17], has been described under different terms, such as social supplier development [13] or corporate social responsibility [68,75,85,90,93,98]. It is important to note that all these different terms generally imply the same practices a company can conduct to be socially responsible.…”

“…Egels-Zanden and Lindholm [59] discuss the conflicting views on the impact of codes and Perry and Towers [4] point at the difficulties of code implementation in the highly competitive, dispersed, and complex nature of the apparel industry. Merk [75] states criticisms that codes are tending to be managerial instruments and workers are ignored and not included in the development process of codes. Further researchers describe the confusion among suppliers due to the lack of uniformity across codes of conduct.…”

So far, a vast amount of studies on sustainability in supply chain management have been conducted by academics over the last decade. Nevertheless, socially related aspects are still neglected in the related discussion. The primary motivation of the present literature review has arisen from this shortcoming, thus the key purpose of this study is to enrich the discussion by providing a state-of-the-art, focusing exclusively on social issues in sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) by considering the textile/apparel sector as the field of application. The authors conduct a literature review, including content analysis which covers 45 articles published in English peer-reviewed journals, and proposes a comprehensive map which integrates the latest findings on socially related practices in the textile/apparel industry with the dominant conceptualization in order to reveal potential research areas in the field. The results show an ongoing lack of investigation regarding the social dimension of the triple bottom line in SSCM. Findings indicate that a company's internal orientation is the main assisting factor in sustainable supply chain management practices. Further, supplier collaboration and assessment can be interpreted as an offer for suppliers deriving from stakeholders and a focal company's management of social risk. Nevertheless, suppliers do also face or even create huge barriers in improving their social performance. This calls for more empirical research and qualitative or quantitative survey methods, especially at the supplier level located in developing countries.

“…These include changes to the fundamental nature of the supply chain (Pagell and Wu 2009;Nidumolu et al 2009); developing new products or processes with appreciable benefits for consumers and workers in the supply chain (Amann et al 2014;Ashby et al 2012); and reimagining the supply chain to achieve socially responsible outcomes (Abdallah et al 2012). This means including non-traditional supply chain partners in decision-making and increasing the transparency of supply chain operation and governance (Burchielli et al 2009;Pagell and Wu 2009). …”

Management of Social Issues in Supply Chains: A Literature Review Exploring Social Issues, Actions and Performance Outcomes

2015

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The social dimension of sustainable development and its impact on supply chains have so far received less attention than the environmental dimension. The aim of the research is to explore the intersection between social issues, corporate social responsibility (CSR) actions and performance outcomes. A structured literature review of social issues in supply chains is presented, analysing the research published so far in peer-reviewed publications. Linking CSR and supply chain management allows the exploration of strategies and performance outcomes with a focus on social issues. The corresponding responsible supply chain actions adopted by firms to address these issues are grouped into communication, compliance and supplier development strategies. Social and economic as well as buyer and supplier performance are identified as the key outcomes, but the interactions among these constructs would require further research. This paper contributes to the understanding of managing social issues in supply chains by linking social issues, responsible supply chain actions and performance outcomes. The paper consolidates related research by offering an overarching conceptual framework and points to future research directions and simultaneously provides insights into the management of social issues in supply chains.
