A study on the validation of green supply chain performance measures in the automotive industry

Abstract

This study was aimed at establishing the validity of the measures and metrics for automobile green supply chain performance measurement. The study involved statistical tests using 16 measures and 72 corresponding metrics. These statistical tests include exploratory factor analysis to investigate the construct validity of the measures and their metrics, a confirmatory factor analysis to test the model fitness and a multiple regression analysis to test the criterion validity of the measures. From the results obtained, the validity of the measures and their corresponding metrics has been established. The paper culminated with recommendations for further studies.
