Identifying Factors Affecting the Establishment of Green Supply Chain Management with a Meta-Synthesis Approach

The construction industry has always had significant destructive effects on the environment. Using green supply chain management strategies to achieve sustainable construction is an effective approach to reduce environmental damage. Due to the vagueness of the dimensions, in this research, relying on the qualitative approach and the interpretive paradigm and the seven-step meta-synthesis method, the effective components on the establishment of green supply chain management in the construction industry were explained. For this purpose, 728 related studies in the field of supply chain management, especially with sustainable, green, and reverse, were identified, reviewed, evaluated, and screened, and finally, based on the entry and exit protocol, 37 studies were coded in the research portfolio, which in total 73 primary codes were extracted and categorized into 13 concepts and 4 categories. Classification reliability was confirmed based on Kappa coefficient. The findings of the research showed that the components affecting the green supply chain management were identified based on four main categories including: the main factors of green supply chain management, facilitating factors, internal and external drivers and barriers, and finally, suggestions based on the extracted results From this research, it was presented to future researchers
