Abstract

This paper reports the use of Structural Equation Modelling technique to test the influence of resource commitment as a predictor of reverse supply chain management implementation. The study was conducted among professionals involved in supply chain and reverse supply chain using a survey method for data collection. At total of 314 questionnaires were filled completely and retuned back. The data gathered was analysed using structural equation modelling, which was used to assess the factorial structure of the constructs, the structural equation modelling software used was the Amos 26.0. the factorial structure, reliability and validity of resource commitment indicator variables were investigated. The finding revealed a positive influence on the outcome of the implementation of RSC. Further SEM analysis revealed that the Rho and the Cronbach’s alpha coefficients of internal consistency were over 0.70 criterions for acceptability, and the constructs shows a good mode fit to the sample data.
