Abstract

This study empirically investigates the relationship between shared-goal congruence, customer relationship management (CRM), and customer relationship advantages on firm performance. Data were collected from 200 supply chain practitioners and operations staff working in retail stores in Indonesia using purposive and non-probability sampling techniques. The hypotheses were assessed using SEM-AMOS 24, after conducting Exploratory Factor Analysis, reliability, and validity tests. The results show that CRM significantly impacts firm performance, mediated by Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM). Additionally, a positive relationship exists between goal congruency and firm performance, also mediated by GSCM. Supplier relationship management was found to have a significant effect on both GSCM and firm performance. The theoretical contribution of this study emphasizes that the integration of sustainable principles in supply chain management through GSCM improves firm performance in various aspects, including financial, environmental, and social. The implementation of GSCM, supported by strong management commitment and a shift in organizational culture, enhances energy and resource efficiency, process and product innovation, environmental risk reduction, customer satisfaction, continuous improvement, and cost reductions, leading to competitive advantages through faster and more accurate decision-making.

Abstract

The fashion industry, particularly the fast fashion segment, significantly contributes to environmental degradation through excessive resource use and waste. This study examines how competitive pressure, green product innovation, and green process innovation influence sustainable firm performance among fashion Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in a region. Using the Natural Resource-Based View (NRBV) as a theoretical framework, the research highlights the strategic role of green innovation in building environmentally valuable, rare, inimitable, and non-substitutable (VRIN) capabilities. A quantitative method was employed, with data collected from 100 MSME actors via a structured questionnaire and analyzed using Covariance-Based Structural Equation Modeling (CB-SEM) in AMOS. The findings reveal that competitive pressure, as well as green product and process innovations, have a positive and significant effect on sustainable firm performance. Green product innovation, including eco-friendly materials and circular design, and green process innovation, such as waste-reducing technologies, are identified as crucial strategies for achieving environmental and business goals.

Abstract

The increasing urgency of environmental sustainability, combined with the rapid growth of social media usage, has significantly influenced consumer behavior in the digital era. Social media has evolved beyond a mere communication tool into a powerful space where consumer values, perceptions, and attitudes are shaped. Through mechanisms such as parasocial interactions with influencers, peer influence in online communities, and exposure to trust-based and user-generated content, consumers are increasingly encouraged to adopt sustainable purchasing behaviors. This study aims to examine these dynamics by conducting a systematic literature review focused on the role of social media in shaping consumer attitudes and behavior toward sustainable products. A total of 205 scholarly articles published between 2020 and 2025 were retrieved from the Watase Uake database, and 50 of them were selected for in-depth review based on relevance, quality, and methodological rigor. The selected literature was analyzed to explore patterns and trends related to consumer motivation, behavioral intention, and the effectiveness of social media in promoting sustainable consumption. The findings provide valuable insights into how digital platforms support sustainability goals and influence consumer decision-making. This review also identifies key research gaps and calls for future empirical studies to better understand and optimize the role of social media in encouraging ethical and environmentally conscious consumer practices.
