    Green Supply Chain Management Approaches; Drivers and Performance Implications within Project, (Project Base Organization NESPAK)
    (Library Information Services, COMSATS University Islamabad, Lahore Campus, 2018) Muhammad Zahid Iqbal; SP14-MSPM-027; Dr. Muhammad Khan; LHR TP 5214
    Recent studies, recommend a developing interest for Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM), particularly in regards to "greening" the different levels of supply chains. Monitoring and collaboration are the two main GSCM approaches that are studies in the literature; but not any of these studies has shown impact of each driver on particular GSCM practices. Being multinational company, NESPAK has introduces GSCM concept in its different sectors like (power & mechanical division, highways and transportation engineering division, building services division). The questionnaire was sent to a sample of 350, project managers team leaders and project engineers affiliated to the different divisions of NESPAK. Data analyzed using SPSS 20.0 to analyze a multiple regression analysis to narrate GSCM drivers, GSCM approaches and project environmental performance. This study will analyze project environmental performance using GSCM approached and environmental drivers. The multiple regression analysis has been employed on two models of the study. We determine significant impact on both collaboration and monitoring GSCM practices of environmental drivers. Similarly, results show that collaboration GSCM practices are not significantly related to the project environmental performance. Results also depicts that monitoring GSCM mediates the relationship between environmental drivers and project environmental performance. The result shows that by encouraging firms to comprise in monitoring and collaborative initiatives, project environmental performance objectives can be achieved. The execution of these activities would enhance ecological execution of the central firm, and by implication the execution of the entire inventory network, through enhanced procedures and items. From project management point of view, this study has several implications. First, adoption of GSCM practices pays off in terms of project environmental performance by employ supplier-related GSCM practices such as provide suppliers with feedback of environmental audits and/or with training. Second, it is needed to go beyond monitoring when working with suppliers. The environmental performance will improve when there is collaboration between supplier and buyers. Policy point of view this study suggests that government regulation/agencies are less effective than non-coercive drivers (e.g. competitors, customers, society, etc.), in term of GSCM practices. The policy implication, it would be more proficient to create systems to empower the straightforwardness of supply chains, than to apply coordinate coercive weights.

    Factors affecting contractor attitudes and behaviours regarding construction and demolition waste management: A study of construction industry in Pakistan.
    (Library Information Services, COMSATS University Islamabad, Lahore Campus, 2018) Fatima Aqeel; SP14-MSPM-013; Dr. Muhammad Khan; LHR TP 5267
    Lahore is the second largest city of Pakistan; it is making its way up as indicated by the development initiatives taken for the city, infrastructure development and the provision of the basic facilities to the residents. The provincial budget of Punjab for the fiscal year 2014-2015 out-lay by provincial government is PKR1033.70 billion. PKR345 billion was allocated for Annual Development Program (ADP) in the budget, of which 40% is reserved for the utilization in Lahore for the various ongoing and several new development projects.(Directorate General Monitoring and Evaluation, Government of Punjab). With the numerous ongoing construction activities in Lahore, a large amount of construction waste is generated which aroused growing public concern. Human factors affect the construction and demolition waste management. Attitude and behaviour of contractor directly influences the practices for managing waste during construction and demolition. Factors affecting contractors‟ attitudes and behaviours are critical in understanding how to resolve issues surrounding construction waste management practices in Pakistan. To achieve the objectives of the study contractors operationalizing in Punjab will be selected through random sampling technique. List of the privately registered contractors under different categories in Lahore, Punjab will be taken from authorized body, Pakistan Engineering Council updated on the authorized website of Contractors Association of Pakistan and divided into three groups according to tendering capacity and minimum personnel resources.200 contractors will be the targeted for conducting survey. A structured questionnaire survey will be implemented from Begum et al., 2009. Through logistic regression analysis, the relationship between various factors affecting contractor attitudes and behaviours regarding waste management will be assessed. This study will utilize the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software to analyse data.
