Abstract: |
The aim of this research is to develop a simple and easily useable scale to
assess sustainable development in the ready-made garments (RMG) sector of
Bangladesh. To pursue the goal, this study is divided into two separate parts; index
development and sustainability assessment. Based on an extensive literature review, a
three-dimensional framework has been proposed. Dimensions include economic,
social and environmental dimensions. Data were gathered from the Tier 1 RMG
factories in Bangladesh. Excluding incomplete responses, a total of 238 responses
were considered for further analysis. The statistics used in the analysis were item-total
correlation, independent t-test, exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory
factor analysis (CFA) through structural equation modeling (SEM). The result
revealed that a 30-items index showed model fit on the proposed second-order
sustainability index model. Dimensions of sustainability are found to be well
correlated and dimensions as well as sub-dimensions of sustainability load very well
on the proposed three-dimensional model. In the second part of this study, level of
sustainability of the ready-made garments factories has been assessed based on the
developed sustainability index and the modified scale of a sustainability tool named
Barometer of Sustainability. Overall sustainability level of the factories participate in
this study is at “acceptable” level. Classifying the factories based on their product
types does not show much difference than the overall sustainability measure. But
while factories are segregated based on their sizes in terms of a number of employees, |
