While extensive literature examines the individual roles of green information
systems (GIS) and green supply chain management (GSCM) in improving firm
performance, there is a notable scarcity of studies exploring their combined impacts on
business sustainability (BS) in developing nations. This study addresses this gap by
investigating the direct connection between GIS implementations and BS in small- and
medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Palestine. It also explores the mediating role of
GSCM practices in this relationship. Data on GIS implementations, GSCM practices, and
factors related to BS were collected through a survey and analyzed using partial least
squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The results demonstrate that GIS
implementations have a positive and significant impact on GSCM practices and BS.
Moreover, the relationship between GIS implementations and BS is significantly
mediated by GSCM practices. This research is distinctive in its examination of the effects
of GIS and GSCM on BS within the context of a developing country, providing the valuable insights to the literature and presenting new perspectives on achieving sustainable
performance in complex business environments.
