GSCM considered emphasizing environmental issues in Traditional Supply Chain Management (TSCM). Due to the new trends in global warming, environmental sustainability became a greater concern among organizations and enterprises globally. This study focused on green supply chain management strategies in the presence of green innovation. Green innovation improved operational performance as well as products, leading to economic and operational performance. Different manufacturing sectors put pressure on implementing green supply chain management strategies and green innovation. This study focused on the manufacturing industry, specifically the automobile sector in Pakistan. A non-probability sampling technique was employed to gather data from a sample size of 300 individuals. Data collection involved using a survey method based on an adapted questionnaire. The collected data underwent SPSS Regression analysis and correlation analysis. The research identified positive responses towards green supply chain management (GSCM) strategies within the context of the Pakistani automobile industry. Notably, operational performance demonstrated a favorable correlation with both GSCM and green innovation. Moreover, the study revealed that supply chain capabilities exerted a positive influence on both GSCM and green innovation, underscoring their substantial interrelationships. Consequently, the research contributes meaningful insights into the intricate dynamics of GSCM, green innovation, operational performance, and supply chain capabilities within the specified industry. |

A causal relationship has been established between psychological, cultural, and institutional factors and general academic/ professional training programs being taught in universities. The study is based on the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB). This study has conducted an in-depth analysis of entrepreneurial barriers being faced by Pakistani youth and their extent of influence in affecting entrepreneurial activity in Pakistan. University students from all faculties were selected as the target population and a structured questionnaire was distributed in all universities of Pakistan. Data were obtained via surveys and investigated using structural equation models (SEM) to determine the causal links between various components. This study is quantitative and explanatory in character. The results show that entrepreneurial intentions are influenced by psychological, cultural, and institutional aspects. University entrepreneurial education plays a vital role in developing entrepreneurial intentions and initiating subsequent entrepreneurial action. The findings of this study highlight a number of significant complications that merit further consideration, not just within the scientific and academic communities, but also among political and government institutions, as well. This study has value at both scholarly and practice levels. At the scholarly level, the study investigated important contemporary issues related to entrepreneurial intentions and entrepreneurial activity. At the practical level, the findings of this study would aid in the establishment of effective and efficient entrepreneurial policies and entrepreneurial curricula. |
