Abstract

The environmental  challenges for  business are  on  rise.  Bearing  this  fact  in  mind  current  has explored  the  relationship  between  different  pressures and    green    supply    chain    management    practices (GSCMP).  In addition, current  study  has  considered the    GSCMP    as    a    mediator.    220    respondents participated in the study and Smart-PLS was used for data  analysis.  Results  revealed  positive  link  between coercive,  normative,  mimetic  pressure  and  GSCMP. Furthermore, the  study  also  revealed  that  GSCMP significantly  and  positively  mediates  the  relationship between  coercive,  normative,  mimetic  pressure  and operational efficiency. The study concluded that when an organization is forced through the external sources such  as  legislation,  environment  protection  agencies and customers they tend to follow the GSCMP. These practices   in   turn   lead   towards   the   operational efficiency  of  the  firms.  The  limitations  and  future research areas are provided in the study.
