ABSTRACT:

The The study identifies the factors relating to technology, organization and environment aspects influencing the intention of green innovation implementation in the logistics industry – the study with the logistics service providers (LSPs) in Vietnam. Out of the 182 questionnaires distributed in February 2021 to LSPs in Vietnam using mailing, 29 were excluded from analyses due to unsatisfactory responses, and 153 were used for statistical processing. Analysing through Smart-PLS tool, the study shows that the factors influencing the intention of green innovation implementation of LSPs (ranked descending order of importance) are organization encouragement, government’s support, quality of human resources, accumulation technology, the explicitness of technology, and environmental uncertainty.
