Resumo(s)
Esta investigação foca-se em explorar os antecedentes das intenções da gestão de topo, em implementar ou desenvolver modelos de logística inversa, contribuindo para uma economia circular. A economia circular é um conceito emergente e relevante na medida em que atua como alternativa ao modelo dominante de produção e consumo, conhecido como economia linear, e que segue o fluxo "extrair, fabricar, utilizar e deitar fora". Considerada conducente a uma atividade mais sustentável por parte das empresas industriais, a implementação de processos de logística inversa, é considerada especialmente útil para gerir resíduos sólidos e reduzir a poluição de resíduos. A logística inversa tem vindo, gradualmente, a ganhar importância para as empresas produtoras através da sensibilização ambiental, da competitividade e dos regulamentos ambientais. No entanto, pouco se sabe sobre as intenções de implementação destes processos na indústria transformadora portuguesa e quais os seus principais antecedentes. Através da Teoria do Comportamento Planeado e de um modelo de equações estruturais (SEM-PLS) foram avaliados os determinantes das intenções de 177 empresas da indústria transformadora portuguesa. Os resultados indicam que as atitudes e o controlo comportamental percebido dos gestores de topo, influenciam positivamente as intenções desses gestores de topo, no entanto, as normas subjetivas revelaram não ser antecedentes significativos, neste contexto. No presente estudo procurou-se ainda estender a Teoria do Comportamento Planeado, explorando potenciais barreiras e facilitadores das intenções dos seus antecedentes cognitivos. Os resultados são indicativos da relevância de algumas dessas barreiras e facilitadores para as intenções de adoção de logística inversa. Dada a relevância desta temática e as baixas intenções dos gestores de topo em adotar logística inversa, com base nos resultados aqui encontrados, foram sugeridas algumas medidas que podem criar condições mais favoráveis aos gestores da indústria transformadora nacional a implementarem processos compatíveis com uma economia mais circular.
This research focuses on exploring top management intentions from Portuguese manufacturing industry, in adopting or developing reverse logistics, contributing to a circular economy. Circular economy is an emerging and relevant concept that it acts as an alternative to the dominant model of production and consumption, known as linear economy, that follows the flow "take-make-use-dispose". Considered conducive to a more sustainable initiative by manufacturing companies, the implementation of reverse logistics processes is considered especially useful for managing solid waste and reducing waste pollution. Reverse logistics has gradually gained importance for producing companies through environmental awareness, competitiveness and environmental regulations. However, there is lack of knowledge about the intentions of implementing these processes in the Portuguese manufacturing industry and what their main antecedents are. Through the Theory of Planned Behavior and a model of structural equations (SEM-PLS), the intentions determinants of 177 companies in the Portuguese manufacturing industry were analyzed. The results confirm that attitudes and perceived behavioral control of top managers, positively influence top managers intentions, however, subjective norms have proved to be a non-significant determinant in this context. In the present study, we also tried to extend the Theory of Planned Behavior, exploring potential barriers and facilitators of the cognitive antecedents of intentions. The results are indicative of the relevance of some of these barriers and facilitators for the intentions of reverse logistics adoption. Given the relevance of this theme and the low intentions of top managers to adopt reverse logistics, and based on the results found, some measures were suggested that may create conditions more favorable to managers of the national manufacturing industry to implement processes compatible with a more circular economy.
