Emerging economy is lagging behind in advanced supply chain activities due to inefficient technological and financial support we know. Moreover, traditional supply chain creates a greater harm in the environment by its supply chain process finally by customers throwing consumed garbage which indirectly creates harm both for organization and in the environment. Knowing these effects our industries basically our textile industries are reluctant to adopt Green Supply Chain Management practices thinking it’s complicated and primary adaptation barriers. This paper aims to investigate new thinking in Green Human Supply Management (GSCM) implementation barriers in the textile industries focusing on Bangladeshi textile industries. The methodology employs a mix method approach that combines a review of the literature with the insights of a few chosen experts from Bangladesh's textile sector to identify 10 barriers under two part of internal and external that are pertinent to the implementation of GSCM. For support in the investigation of the barriers in Bangladesh's textile industry, the Fuzzy DEMATEL method was used to prioritize GSCM implementation barriers and to analyze cause and effect relationship of these barriers. The findings showed that unfavorable working conditions and a lack of support from upper management were the most significant internal obstacles to the GSCM implementation, while pollution and a lack of government effort were the most significant external barriers. The present study offers a comprehensive summary of the barriers to the implementation of green supply chain management (GSCM) in Bangladeshi textile companies. It also highlights the need for researchers and academicians to concentrate on particular organizational tactics while implementing GSCM.
