摘要：

Green logistics has become a crucial strategy towards the net-zero emission target. Despite the growing attention on the concept, its antecedents, practices, and performance outcomes remain unsettled. The extant literature provides contradictory and limited understandings of how to study these dynamics and outcomes, triggering, in some cases, a partial view of the subject, confusions, and paradoxes in understanding the dynamics between performance outcomes, green logistics practices (GLPs), and antecedents that drive them. To contribute to this field of knowledge, this study aims to examine the antecedents, practices, and outcomes of GLPs and the methodological and theoretical choices used in previous green logistics studies. Forty-five (45) papers published between 2011-2024 were extracted from Web of Science and Scopus following the PRISMA protocol. The review combined bibliometric and systematic methodological approaches. The outcome revealed an increasing body of GLPs with three (3) strands of literature on GLP operationalization: (1) multi-dimensional, (2) one-dimensional, and (3) bi-dimensional. Thematic analysis revealed that forty-four (44%) of the studies are grounded in resource-advantage theories, organizational theories, and system theories. We further found that ninety-one (91%) of the papers used cross-sectional designs and quantitative approaches. Studies from China (20.2%) dominate the field and most studies have been conducted on the logistics and manufacturing industries. Using the Antecedent-Decision-Outcomes (ADO) framework, the study identified fourteen (14) Antecedents of GLP: eight (8) internal and six (6) external factors, four (4) decisions that facilitate the acceleration of GLPs and five (5) broad outcomes of GLPs (i.e., business performance, supply chain sustainability, SC performance, logistics performance, and green performance. Following the Theory-Context-Methodology (TCM) framework, agenda for future research directions were proffered. © 2024 Elsevier Ltd
