Abstract

The increasing environmental pollution compels the organization to adopt green manufacturing. But the global competition creates a fear of financial loss among the manufacturing organization, especially for Indian SMEs who are having lots of financial constraints. Attempts have been made through this study to find the impact of green manufacturing on the organizational performance. A questionnaire survey method for data collection and the partial least square path modeling (PLS-PM) of structural equation modeling technique has been adopted in this research. The results of the research show that the fear of financial loss among Indian SMEs is hypothetical rather, there is an increase in profit and market share if the company goes for green manufacturing. The limitation of this research is the less number of participants and the data which have been taken from a few industries. Hence, for more precise results, the number of industries with a large number of participants should be covered in future research.
