The impact of digital transformation on big data analytics and firm’s sustainability performance in a post-pandemic era
BACKGROUND: COVID-19 caused an exogenous shock to global economies, businesses and people. However, digitalization is also helping many companies adapt and overcome the reality of COVID-19. The fact that people and companies are increasingly using technology in their daily lives to deal with this extraordinary situation demonstrates the acceleration of the digitalization process. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this research is to examine the mediating role of Big Data Analytics (BDA) in the relationship between digital transformation (DT) and economic, environmental and social sustainability performance. METHODS: For data analysis and hypothesis testing, partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was used on 304 managers level employees in small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Mozambique. RESULTS: The findings show that DT positively affects BDA in Mozambican SMEs. Furthermore, BDA positively impacts economic and environmental performance. In addition, BDA has a significant mediating role in the association between DT and economic and environmental performance. However, this relationship is insignificant regarding social performance. CONCLUSIONS: These findings have important implications for SMEs managers and policy makers, who can develop a coherent strategy to realize BDA opportunities, reduce costs and provide strategic value to improve firm sustainability performance in a post-pandemic world.
期刊介绍:
Human Systems Management (HSM) is an interdisciplinary, international, refereed journal, offering applicable, scientific insight into reinventing business, civil-society and government organizations, through the sustainable development of high-technology processes and structures. Adhering to the highest civic, ethical and moral ideals, the journal promotes the emerging anthropocentric-sociocentric paradigm of societal human systems, rather than the pervasively mechanistic and organismic or medieval corporatism views of humankind’s recent past. Intentionality and scope Their management autonomy, capability, culture, mastery, processes, purposefulness, skills, structure and technology often determine which human organizations truly are societal systems, while others are not. HSM seeks to help transform human organizations into true societal systems, free of bureaucratic ills, along two essential, inseparable, yet complementary aspects of modern management: a) the management of societal human systems: the mastery, science and technology of management, including self management, striving for strategic, business and functional effectiveness, efficiency and productivity, through high quality and high technology, i.e., the capabilities and competences that only truly societal human systems create and use, and b) the societal human systems management: the enabling of human beings to form creative teams, communities and societies through autonomy, mastery and purposefulness, on both a personal and a collegial level, while catalyzing people’s creative, inventive and innovative potential, as people participate in corporate-, business- and functional-level decisions. Appreciably large is the gulf between the innovative ideas that world-class societal human systems create and use, and what some conventional business journals offer. The latter often pertain to already refuted practices, while outmoded business-school curricula reinforce this problematic situation.
