| dc.description.abstract | In response to escalating environmental concerns arising from industrial activities, this study investigates the influence of environmental training on the adoption of green logistics management practices. The objectives of the study were to: examine the relationship between environmental training and green logistics management practices, examine the mediating role of supplier environmental orientation in the relationship between environmental training and green logistics management practices, to investigate the moderating effect of top management commitment on the relationship between environmental training and supplier environmental orientation, to examine how corporate environmental orientation moderates the relationship between environmental training and green logistics management practices. A quantitative survey methodology was employed as the research design. A total of 290 firms in Ghana were sampled for this study. The SmartPLS4 was used to analyse the data. The findings indicate a positive and significant direct relationship between environmental training and green logistics management practices. However, the study finds that the involvement of supplier environmental orientation, top management commitment, and corporate environmental orientation in mediating and moderating these relationships is not statistically significant. This underscores the critical role of leadership in promoting sustainable practices within organisations. The study recommends that management should focus on other avenues for enhancing the impact of environmental training on green logistics practices, furthermore, the study recommends implementing effective environmental management strategies that closely align with the organisation's overarching environmental goals. | |
