Abstract This research explores stakeholder salience and sustainability learning efforts of apparel manufacturers operating in an emerging economy. An organizational view of sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) is conceptualized to delineate mechanisms that facilitate the implementation of supply chain sustainability. Data is collected from survey responses from 156 apparel manufacturers operating in India. Findings suggest that stakeholder salience in pressuring apparel manufacturers to embrace SSCM practices generates reactive pathways to sustainability implementation at the firm-level. Results also show that firm-intrinsic efforts of organizational members aiming to learn about sustainability shape proactive pathways toward SSCM. Our paper shows evidences that reactive pathways appear to be less effective than proactive ones. This paper contributes to the literature by detailing how different SSCM practices adopted by apparel manufacturing contribute to enhanced supply chain environmental and operational performances of contemporary apparel supply chains. It also enriches the firm-intrinsic view of stakeholder salience in SSCM by outlining the relevance of internal and external stakeholders in pressurizing manufacturing firms within the supply chain. Lastly, it strengthens the view of intra-firm learning toward sustainability in SSCM by drawing from the construct of ‘responsible management learning’ to propose an integrative notion of organizational learning toward responsible management (OLRM).

可持续服装供应链的被动和主动途径：制造商对利益相关者显着性和组织学习的看法，以实现负责任的管理

摘要 本研究探讨了在新兴经济体中运营的服装制造商的利益相关者显着性和可持续性学习努力。可持续供应链管理 (SSCM) 的组织观点被概念化以描述促进供应链可持续性实施的机制。数据来自 156 家在印度经营的服装制造商的调查回复。调查结果表明，利益相关者在向服装制造商施加压力以接受 SSCM 实践方面的显着性为公司层面的可持续性实施产生了反应途径。结果还表明，旨在了解可持续性的组织成员的企业内在努力塑造了通往 SSCM 的主动途径。我们的论文表明，有证据表明反应途径似乎不如主动途径有效。本文详细介绍了服装制造采用的不同 SSCM 实践如何有助于提高当代服装供应链的供应链环境和运营绩效，从而为文献做出贡献。它还通过概述内部和外部利益相关者在向供应链中的制造公司施压时的相关性，丰富了 SSCM 中利益相关者显着性的公司内在观点。最后，它通过从“负责任的管理学习”的结构中汲取灵感，提出了面向负责任管理的组织学习 (OLRM) 的综合概念，从而加强了公司内部学习对 SSCM 可持续性的看法。
