Abstract
The purpose of this research was to synthesize research findings in articles on the causal factors and effects of using green logistics in business. The study employed a documentary research process in the form of a systematic review. Based on the established criteria for selecting articles, 6 articles from the Scopus database and 3 research reports from databases in Thailand. The results showed that the causal factors for the use of green logistics in business were classified into 2 causal factors: internal driving factors, consisting of 3 components: internal motivation, internal obstacles, and concerns about the company's image, and external pressure factors, consisting of 3 components: external support, social pressure, and various laws or regulations for the impact of implementing green logistics in 5 areas of business: circular economy, environmental sustainability, competitive capability, business performance and environmentally friendly practice. The results of this systematic review can be used as a conceptual framework for empirical research to further explore the relationships between causal factors and their effects.
