Abstract

Incorporating state-of-the-art technology into supply chain management has become a core focus for improving operational sustainability and efficiency. However, despite aggregate investment in disruptive technologies such as blockchain technology, there are still gaps in our understanding of their specific impact on sustainable supply chain performance, especially in developing economies. This study aims to establish a research model and conduct an empirical analysis to comprehend blockchain technology adoption's transformational potential in the supply chain environment. The required data was collected from the managers of the manufacturing organizations via a structured questionnaire (n = 268). Structural equation modeling, bootstrapping, and importance-performance map analysis have been performed to test the proposed hypotheses. The results provide significant insights into how organizational compatibility interacts with blockchain technology adoption and explain the mechanism of how blockchain technology adoption affects sustainable supply chain performance through supply chain ambidexterity and survivability. However, the results did not demonstrate a direct impact of blockchain technology adoption on sustainable supply chain performance. The findings reveal the theoretical advances of industrial supply chain practitioners and scholars and their practical significance in positively contributing to strategic decision-making.

探讨区块链技术采用对可持续供应链绩效的影响

将最先进的技术纳入供应链管理已成为提高运营可持续性和效率的核心焦点。然而，尽管对区块链技术等颠覆性技术进行了总体投资，但我们对它们对可持续供应链绩效的具体影响的理解仍然存在差距，特别是在发展中经济体。本研究旨在建立研究模型并进行实证分析，以了解区块链技术采用在供应链环境下的转型潜力。通过结构化问卷（n = 268）从制造组织的经理那里收集所需的数据。结构方程建模，自举和重要性-性能图分析已经执行，以检验提出的假设。研究结果为组织兼容性与区块链技术采用的相互作用提供了重要的见解，并解释了区块链技术采用如何通过供应链双灵巧性和生存性影响可持续供应链绩效的机制。然而，结果并没有显示区块链技术的采用对可持续供应链绩效的直接影响。研究结果揭示了产业供应链从业者和学者的理论进展及其对战略决策的积极贡献的现实意义。
