Abstract

Abstract This research aims to investigate the relationship between supply chain orientation (SCO) and firm performance (FP) in the context of halal-certified small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The proposed SCO model incorporates three factors, namely top management support, commitment, and credibility, for the determination of firm performance. A total of 512 halal-certified SMEs was surveyed, in which 284 responses were received and analysed using structural equation modelling with partial least squares (SEM-PLS). The credibility of supply chain partners was shown to have a major effect on firm performance in the context of halal-certified SMEs. On the other hand, top management support and commitment demonstrated a lesser influence, despite having statistically significant effects on firm performance. This study provides a framework for halal practitioners to refine their business operations based on the implementation of SCO elements to improve firm performance.

供应链导向对企业绩效的影响:来自马来西亚清真认证中小企业案例研究的见解

摘要本研究旨在探讨清真认证中小企业(SMEs)背景下供应链导向(SCO)与企业绩效(FP)之间的关系。提出的SCO模型包含三个因素，即最高管理层的支持，承诺和信誉，以确定公司绩效。共调查了512家清真认证的中小企业，其中收到284份回复，并使用偏最小二乘法(SEM-PLS)结构方程模型进行了分析。供应链合作伙伴的信誉被证明对清真认证的中小企业的企业绩效有重大影响。另一方面，高层管理人员的支持和承诺表现出较小的影响，尽管在统计上对公司绩效有显著影响。本研究为清真从业者提供了一个框架，使他们能够在实施SCO要素的基础上改进业务运营，从而提高企业绩效。
