Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between sustainable operations practices (SOP) and performance.

Design/methodology/approach

This study was conducted through a systematic literature review followed by a meta-analysis of correlations.

Findings

In the results, 14 of the relationships examined showed a positive relationship and 12 the presence of moderators. The study findings indicate that contingency affects the relationship between SOPs and performance.

Research limitations/implications

The research presented in this paper is mainly limited to databases that were searched. Among the quantitative articles selected from the databases, many did not have the data needed to conduct the meta-analysis, which may have limited the results of this study.

Practical implications

Using the results of this study, practitioners can become aware of to the occurrence of moderating factors in the relationships, which can range from interference from other practices and variables to characteristics of the organization itself or the market in which organizations operate.

Originality/value
