Abstract：
Surging environmental issues confiscate stakeholders\' attention due to growing competition. Sustainable performance in this regard is viewed as a suitable tool because it not only gauges firm\'s financial performance but also covers social and environmental areas. However, sustainable performance cannot be achieved without creating sustainable business advantage. Green supply chain practices are known to be implemented in terms of sustainability as they are cross-looped as well as cross-organizational. The practices help in the reduction of environmental impact of business activities without compromising on quality, performance, cost, and energy usage efficiency. The reason encourages the authors to explore the role of selected green supply chain factors, customer preference, and leadership factors in shaping sustainable business advantage. The study has examined the association by adopting the quantitative research method. The researcher has gathered data from 530 employees in the purchasing department, logistics, import/export officers, and packing staff. The data was analyzed statistically by employing SPSS for preliminary analysis and AMOS for testing the structural model and the hypotheses of the study. Using confirmatory factors analysis and structural equational modeling, the researcher has analyzed the study\'s measurement model and the hypotheses of the study. The findings of the research have depicted that there is a significant positive impact of lean management and green product design with sustainable business advantage. Moreover, there exists a mediation of customer preferences and leadership factors between green product design and sustainable business advantage. The study has a few limitations as well and uses a quantitative method; therefore, the study has recommended that future researchers utilize qualitative or mixed methods. The study has several theoretical and practical implications.
摘要：
由于竞争日益激烈，激增的环境问题没收了利益相关者的注意力。在这方面，可持续绩效被视为一种合适的工具，因为它不仅衡量公司的财务绩效，而且涵盖社会和环境领域。然而,不创造可持续的业务优势，就不可能实现可持续的业绩。众所周知，绿色供应链实践是在可持续性方面实施的，因为它们是跨循环和跨组织的。这些做法有助于在不影响质量的前提下减少商业活动对环境的影响，性能，成本,和能源使用效率。原因鼓励作者探索选定的绿色供应链因素的作用，客户偏好，以及塑造可持续业务优势的领导因素。本研究采用定量研究方法对这种关联进行了检验。研究人员收集了采购部门530名员工的数据，物流,进出口官员，和包装人员。通过使用SPSS进行初步分析，并使用AMOS对数据进行统计分析，以测试结构模型和研究假设。使用验证性因子分析和结构方程模型，研究者分析了研究的测量模型和研究假设。研究结果表明，精益管理和绿色产品设计具有可持续的业务优势，具有显着的积极影响。此外，绿色产品设计与可持续商业优势之间存在顾客偏好和领导因素的中介作用。该研究也有一些局限性，并使用定量方法；因此，该研究建议未来的研究人员使用定性或混合方法。该研究具有若干理论和实践意义。
