Abstract

To assess supply chain (SC) sustainability performance, it is essential to understand the influence of key enablers. This study examines the impact of legal pressure, competitive pressure, internal resources and customer preferences on SC sustainability performance, with a particular focus on the mediating role of strategic direction. A quantitative survey was conducted with 390 operations managers from manufacturing sectors across Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Oman and Jordan. The data were analysed using partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS‐SEM). The results indicate that competitive pressure, internal resources and customer preferences significantly influence strategic direction, which in turn positively mediates their effect on sustainable supply chain (SSCM) performance. Legal pressure, however, was not found to significantly impact strategic direction, suggesting that regulatory mandates exert limited influence on manufacturing firms in the region. This study provides actionable insights for managers in developing strategic initiatives that enhance sustainability performance, particularly in contexts with constrained resources.
发展中经济体制造业的供应链可持续性绩效
要评估供应链(SC)的可持续性绩效,了解关键促成因素的影响至关重要。本研究考察了法律压力、竞争压力、内部资源和顾客偏好对供应链可持续发展绩效的影响,并特别关注战略方向的中介作用。我们对来自卡塔尔、沙特阿拉伯、阿拉伯联合酋长国、阿曼和约旦制造业的390名运营经理进行了定量调查。使用偏最小二乘结构方程模型(PLS‐SEM)对数据进行分析。结果表明,竞争压力、内部资源和顾客偏好对战略方向有显著影响,战略方向对可持续供应链绩效有正向中介作用。然而,法律压力并未对战略方向产生重大影响,这表明监管任务对该地区制造企业的影响有限。本研究为管理者提供了可操作的见解,以制定战略举措,提高可持续性绩效,特别是在资源有限的情况下。

期刊介绍: Business Strategy and the Environment (BSE) is a leading academic journal focused on business strategies for improving the natural environment. It publishes peer-reviewed research on various topics such as systems and standards, environmental performance, disclosure, eco-innovation, corporate environmental management tools, organizations and management, supply chains, circular economy, governance, green finance, industry sectors, and responses to climate change and other contemporary environmental issues. The journal aims to provide original contributions that enhance the understanding of sustainability in business. Its target audience includes academics, practitioners, business managers, and consultants. However, BSE does not accept papers on corporate social responsibility (CSR), as this topic is covered by its sibling journal Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management. The journal is indexed in several databases and collections such as ABI/INFORM Collection, Agricultural & Environmental Science Database, BIOBASE, Emerald Management Reviews, GeoArchive, Environment Index, GEOBASE, INSPEC, Technology Collection, and Web of Science.
