However, the influences of environmental factors is not significant on environmental management practices adoption. The findings are based on a single-country and single-industry study, so the current research may be limited in its generalizability. The findings of this paper are original, as no other similar empirical study in analyzing the adoption of EMP in the logistics industry, especially for Malaysia's logistics industry. Owing to the lack of empirical research on the adoption of EMP in Malaysia, this research provides an empirical study on the factors influencing the adoption of EMP by logistics service providers in Malaysia. This research results can help Malaysia's logistics companies develop better strategies to adopt EMP, and can make them become environmentally responsible and friendly logistics service providers. 2017 Thesis NonPeerReviewed text en http://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/21526/1/TP_IRWAN%20IBRAHIM%20MIT%2017_5.pdf Ibrahim, Irwan (2017) Factors influencing adoption of environment management practices among Malaysian logistics companies / Irwan Ibrahim.
