This research aims to shed light on the impact of various antecedents on sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) practices and strategies and their indirect effect on the triple bottom line (TBL) performance. This dissertation presents a comprehensive meta-analysis of correlations to articulate the relationships between institutional pressures and the most researched and implemented SSCM practices. The meta-analysis aggregates the results of 42 studies, 23,147 relationships analyzed based on 8,412 observations. Further, building on a solid theoretical background, findings from extant literature, and the meta-analytic investigation results, we collect data from companies that operate in the United States to understand various aspects of SSCM. Two structural models are studied by analyzing the primary data. The first model explores the effect of isomorphic institutional pressures on symbolic and substantive sustainability strategies, as well as those pressures’ indirect effect on the triple bottom line (TBL). The second model offers a unique perspective on the detrimental effects of barriers on supply chain sustainable collaboration (SCSC) and the indirect effect of barriers on the TBL in the United States. Based on the empirical results, this study proposes recommendations to policymakers, practitioners, and various stakeholder groups to transition from reactive or compliant sustainability practices to techniques and approaches that create value for the company and its stakeholders through the commitment to society and the environment employing sustainable operations.
