摘要

永續供應鏈是一個夥伴共同努力達到經濟、社會與環境目標的重要議題，本研究擬回答：利益關係人的壓力與供應商的永續供應鏈可以導致供應商有更好的營運與環境績效嗎？如果可以，路徑為何？本研究認為供應商環境策略的預應程度可能是兼顧經濟利得與環境支出的關鍵。從中衛體系135家供應商的資料發現：買方的永續供應鏈管理、利益關係人的環境壓力對於供應商的環境策略的預應程度有正向的影響；供應商環境策略預應程度扮演買方永續供應鏈管理、外部利益關係人的壓力與供應商營運績效之間關係的中介角色；同時，供應商預應式環境策略對於供應商的環境績效有正向的影響，雖然我們預期供應商環境策略預應程度扮演買方供應鏈管理、外部利益關係人壓力對供應商環境績效的中介角色，但這兩個假說未獲支持。

Among management research subjects, sustainable supply chain is a major one, in which various enhancements of economic, social, and environmental performance factors are to be considered and proposed through buyer-supplier collaboration. This study contributes to existing literature by answering whether buyer's sustainable supply chain management and stakeholders' pressure lead to better supplier's environmental and operational performance. If the answer is positive, what path could it be? We expect the proactiveness of suppliers' environmental strategy may be the key to balance the potential conflicts between economic benefit and environmental expenditure. Empirical evidences from the 135 suppliers of Taiwan Central Satellite Production System have indicated that SSCM and environmental pressure from the stakeholders have positive impact on the proactiveness of suppliers' environmental strategy. The proactiveness of environmental strategy of suppliers mediates the positive impact of SSCM and stakeholders' environmental pressure on suppliers' operational performance. The proactiveness of environmental strategy of suppliers has a positive impact on supplier's environmental performance. Although it was predicted that the proactive environmental strategy of suppliers might play the mediating role in the relationship among SSCM, stakeholders' environmental pressure and supplier's environmental performance, these two hypotheses were not supported.
