Contribution of components of Green Supply Chain Execution-Supply Loops in Green Supply Chain Performance measurement-A Pilot Empirical Study of the Indian Automobile Manufacturing Sector

This paper is one of the several extensions of the research works done by [5]. Green Supply Chain Practices have been known to have an impact on Green Supply Chain Performance [5].This paper tests empirically through a pilot study of the Indian Automobile Manufacturing Sector, the contribution of the three variables constituting the construct Green Supply Chain Execution-Supply Loops in Green Supply Chain Performance measurement. Also the paper establishes the reliability of the questionnaire instrument developed previously for measuring the construct Green Supply Chain Execution-Supply Loops and also for measuring the three variables that constitute the construct Green Supply Chain Execution-Supply Loops. Further the paper establishes the correlation among these three variables. Finally this paper conducts Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) to arrive at one factor (linear combination of three variables constituting the construct Green Supply Chain Execution-Supply Loops) to aid in measuring the construct Green Supply Chain Execution-Supply Loops. Finally the paper establishes the order of contribution of the three variables constituting the construct Green Supply Chain Execution-Supply Loops.
