Abstract

PurposeImmunization is one of the most cost-effective ways to save lives while promoting good health and happiness. The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has served as a stark reminder of vaccines' ability to prevent transmission, save lives, and have a healthier, safer and more prosperous future. This research investigates the sustainable development (SD) of the COVID-19 vaccine supply chain (VSC).Design/methodology/approachThis study investigates the relationship between internal process, organizational growth, and its three pillars of SD environmental sustainability, economic sustainability and social sustainability. Survey-based research is carried out in the hospitals providing COVID-19 vaccines. Nine hypotheses are proposed for the study, and all the hypotheses got accepted. The survey was sent to 428 respondents and received 291 responses from health professionals with a response rate of 68%. For the study, the healthcare professionals working in both private and public hospitals across India were selected.FindingsThe structural equation modelling (SEM) approach is used to test the hypothesis. All nine hypotheses are supported. This study examines a link between internal processes and organizational learning and the three sustainability pillars (environmental sustainability, economic sustainability and social sustainability).Practical implicationsThis study will help the management and the policymakers to think and adopt SD in the COVID-19 VSC. This paper also implies that robust immunization systems will be required in the future to ensure that people worldwide are protected from COVID-19 and other diseases.Originality/valueThis paper shows the relationship between organizational learning and internal process with environmental sustainability, economic sustainability and social sustainability for the COVID-19. Studies on VSC of COVID-19 are not evident in any previous literature.

研究COVID-19疫苗供应链的可持续发展:结构方程建模方法

目的免疫是在促进健康和幸福的同时拯救生命的最具成本效益的方法之一。2019冠状病毒病（新冠肺炎）大流行清楚地提醒人们，疫苗有能力预防传播、拯救生命，并有一个更健康、更安全、更繁荣的未来。本研究调查了新冠肺炎疫苗供应链（VSC）的可持续发展（SD）。设计/方法论/方法本研究调查内部流程、组织增长及其可持续发展环境可持续性、经济可持续性和社会可持续性三大支柱之间的关系。在提供新冠肺炎疫苗的医院进行基于调查的研究。本研究提出了9个假设，所有假设均被接受。该调查共发送给428名受访者，共收到291份来自卫生专业人员的回复，回复率为68%。在这项研究中，选择了在印度私立和公立医院工作的医疗保健专业人员。结果采用结构方程建模（SEM）方法对该假设进行了检验。所有九个假设都得到了支持。本研究探讨了内部流程和组织学习以及三大可持续性支柱（环境可持续性、经济可持续性和社会可持续性）之间的联系。实际含义本研究将帮助管理层和决策者在新冠肺炎VSC中思考和采用SD。这篇论文还暗示，未来将需要强有力的免疫系统，以确保世界各地的人们免受新冠肺炎和其他疾病的感染。原创/价值本文展示了新冠肺炎组织学习和内部过程与环境可持续性、经济可持续性和社会可持续性之间的关系。关于新冠肺炎VSC的研究在以往的任何文献中都不明显。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Humanitarian Logistics and Supply Chain Management (JHLSCM) is targeted at academics and practitioners in humanitarian public and private sector organizations working on all aspects of humanitarian logistics and supply chain management. The journal promotes the exchange of knowledge, experience and new ideas between researchers and practitioners and encourages a multi-disciplinary and cross-functional approach to the resolution of problems and exploitations of opportunities within humanitarian supply chains. Contributions are encouraged from diverse disciplines (logistics, operations management, process engineering, health care, geography, management science, information technology, ethics, corporate social responsibility, disaster management, development aid, public policy) but need to have a logistics and/or supply chain focus. JHLSCM publishes state of the art research, utilizing both quantitative and qualitative approaches, in the field of humanitarian and development aid logistics and supply chain management.
