Impact of Closed-Loop strategic Orientation on performance by Explaining Mediating Role of Green Supply Chain Management in Iran khodro Company

The purpose of this research was investigating the impact of closed-loop strategic orientation on performance by explaining mediating role of green supply chain management in Iran Khodro Company. The type of research is descriptive-correlative research that is done through survey method. Statistical population of research is the managers and experts of Iran Khodro Company, that they were 3050 persons. The sample size was 342 persons throught using the Krejcie and Morgan table. The sampling method was simple random sampling method.Main tool of this research is a questionnaire that it`s validity is obtained by using panel of experts and masters in the industrial management field. The reliability of the questionnaire is done through pre-test and it is confirmed. Structural equation model is used for analyzing of data by Spss and Lisrel softwares. Hypotheses were investigated by structural equation model and was seen that closed-loop strategic orientation with path coefficients of 0.60, 0.43, 0.27, and 0.59 had a positive and significant effect on environmental performance variables, positive economic performance, negative economic performance, and green supply chain management practices, respectively. Green supply chain management measures with path coefficients of 0.55, 0.41 and 0.37 have positive and significant effects on environmental performance, positive economic performance and negative economic performance, respectively. The Sobel test results also indicate the mediating role of green supply chain management measures in the relationship between closed-loop strategic orientation variables with environmental performance variables, positive economic performance, negative economic performance.
