An important research gap exists on how the adoption of green supply chain management (GSCM) can contribute to the mitigation of some of these challenges.This study investigates the connection between GSCM, employee satisfaction, operational and relational efficiency, and enterprise performance in the mining sector in South Africa.The study employed a quantitative method usinga cross-sectional survey design. A structured research questionnaire was used to collect data from supply chain professionals at two leading mining firms based in the North-West Province, South Africa. The collected data were analysed using a structural equation modelling procedure based on the partial least squares technique. The study reveals the positive influence of GSCM on employee job satisfaction, operational efficiency, relational efficiency, and enterprise performance. The study also confirms that relational efficiency and operational efficiency both exert a positive influence on enterprise performance. However, employee job satisfaction exerted no influence on enterprise performance. GSCM itself exerted a direct positive influence on enterprise performance. The application of GSCM in the mining sector should be recognised as part of the solutions to motivating supply chain professionals and stimulating important internal and external efficiencies, leading to the enhanced performance of the firm.<\/p>\n<h2>Authors<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Abednigo Mkhetheni  Ngcobo (Vaal university of Technology, South Africa)<\/li>\n<li>Chengedzai  Mafini (Vaal university of Technology, South Africa)<\/li>\n<li>Welby Loury Okoumba (Vaal university of Technology, South Africa)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Keywords<\/h2>\n<p>South African mining sector, green supply chain management (GSCM), employee job satisfaction, operational efficiency, rational efficiency, enterprise performance<\/p>\n<h2>References<\/h2>\n<p>References not available for this article.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This article was originally published as: Extending Green Supply Chain Management to the Mining Sector in South Africa: Implications for&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[124],"tags":[2153,1963,1966,1962,1964,1965,1961],"class_list":["post-5162","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-articles","tag-ajims","tag-employee-job-satisfaction","tag-enterprise-performance","tag-green-supply-chain-management-gscm","tag-operational-efficiency","tag-rational-efficiency","tag-south-african-mining-sector","wpcat-124-id"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 -
