Abstract: This paper seeks to explore the effect of green supply chain management practices (GSCMPs) (reverse logistics and green procurement, manufacturing and distribution practices) on the organisational performance (OP) of pharmaceutical manufacturers in Jordan. A questionnaire was designed and distributed randomly among 100 employees of Jordanian pharmaceutical manufacturing organisations. A total of 88 responses were received, of which 79 were usable. The study moves beyond description of the effects of GSCMPs on Op to offer a theoretical model explaining these effects. Thus, it responds to a number of contemporary challenges in Jordan, most importantly the broad need for a solid organisational foundation for the study of GSCMPs and the explanation of mechanisms through which GSCMPs affect OP. The results indicate clearly that GSCMPs collectively and individually affect OP.
