Abstract

This study examines the impact of Green Information Systems (GIS), Internal Green Supply Chain Management (I_GSCM), and Green Product Innovation (GPI) on Social Performance (SOP) in manufacturing enterprises. Using the Resource-Based View (RBV) theory as a foundation, a research model was developed to explore the relationships between these concepts and formulate corresponding hypotheses. The data for the study were collected through surveys administered to managerial staff in manufacturing companies. A quantitative research approach was employed, and data analysis was performed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) and Partial Least Squares (PLS) techniques, utilizing SmartPLS 4.0 software. The findings of the study reveal that I_GSCM has a significant impact on SOP and also fosters GPI. Furthermore, GIS positively influences both I_GSCM and GPI, indicating the importance of green information systems in supporting internal supply chain management and driving product innovation. However, the relationship between GPI and SOP was found to be statistically insignificant, suggesting that green product innovation does not directly contribute to enhancing social performance. These results provide valuable insights into both theoretical and managerial aspects, emphasizing the importance of green management systems and offering practical guidance for businesses to adopt effective strategies aimed at improving social performance within the framework of sustainable development. The study’s findings underscore the need for companies to focus on leveraging green information systems and adopting sustainable supply chain practices to enhance overall social performance. It also highlights the critical role of internal green supply chain management in fostering environmental and innovation-driven outcomes. However, the limited impact of GPI on SOP suggests that companies may need to reconsider how product innovation aligns with broader social goals, advocating for a more integrated approach in green management strategies.
