Abstract

Purpose

Although climate change-related risks affect all stakeholders along the supply chain, the potential impact on small and micro-sized suppliers is incredibly excessive. The corresponding toll of these climate risk threats on the mental health and well-being of owners of small and micro-sized suppliers can adversely affect their participation in sustainability efforts, ultimately impacting the firm's performance. This often-overlooked dynamic forms the core of our research. We probe into two pivotal aspects: how industry dynamism and climate risk affect the mental health and well-being of owners of small and micro-sized suppliers and how, in turn, dictate involvement and, consequently, supply chain sustainability performance. This is further nuanced by the moderating role of the abusive behavior of buyers.

Design/methodology/approach

Our study is built on resource dependency theory and the supporting empirical evidence is fortified by a mixed-methods sequential explanatory design. This study comprises three phases. In the first phase, our experiment examines the effect of industry dynamism and climate risk exposure on sustainable supply chain management performance. Hypotheses H1a and H1b are tested in the first phase. The second phase involves using a survey and structural equation modeling to test the comprehensiveness of the model. Here, the relationship between industry dynamism, climate risk exposure, mental health and well-being of owners of small and micro-sized supplier firms, supplier involvement and sustainable supply chain management (H2–H7) is tested in the second phase. In the third phase, we adopt a qualitative approach to verify and provide descriptive explanations of phase two findings.

Findings

Our findings underscore the significance of small and micro-sized suppliers in sustainability, offering invaluable insights for both theoretical understanding and practical implementation. Our study highlights that buyers must allocate sufficient resources to support small and micro-sized supplier firms and collaborate closely to address climate change and its impacts.

Practical implications

The key takeaway from this study is that buyer firms should consider SDG 3, which focuses on the good health and well-being of their employees and the mental health and well-being of owners of small and micro-sized suppliers in their upstream supply chain. This approach enhances sustainability performance in supply chains.

Originality/value

This is one of the first studies that shows that industry dynamism and climate risk exposure can negatively impact small and micro-sized suppliers in the presence of a contextual element, i.e. abusive behavior of buyers, and ultimately, it negatively impacts sustainable supply chain performance dimensions.

探索行业活力、气候风险暴露与小型和微型供应商所有者的心理健康和福祉之间的关系:对可持续供应链管理的影响
目的虽然与气候变化相关的风险会影响供应链上的所有利益相关者,但对小型和微型供应商的潜在影响却大得惊人。这些气候风险威胁对小型和微型供应商所有者的心理健康和福祉造成的相应损失,会对他们参与可持续发展工作产生不利影响,并最终影响公司业绩。这种经常被忽视的动态变化构成了我们研究的核心。我们探究了两个关键方面:行业动态和气候风险如何影响小型和微型供应商所有者的心理健康和幸福感,以及如何反过来决定其参与程度,进而影响供应链的可持续发展绩效。我们的研究建立在资源依赖理论的基础上,并通过混合方法的顺序解释设计强化了支持性的经验证据。本研究包括三个阶段。在第一阶段,我们的实验考察了行业活力和气候风险暴露对可持续供应链管理绩效的影响。第一阶段检验了假设 H1a 和 H1b。第二阶段包括使用调查和结构方程模型来检验模型的全面性。在此,第二阶段将检验行业活力、气候风险暴露、小型和微型供应商企业所有者的心理健康和幸福感、供应商参与和可持续供应链管理之间的关系(H2-H7)。在第三阶段,我们采用定性方法对第二阶段的研究结果进行验证并提供描述性解释。 研究结果我们的研究结果强调了小型和微型供应商在可持续发展中的重要性,为理论理解和实际执行提供了宝贵的见解。本研究的主要启示是,买方企业应考虑可持续发展目标 3,该目标关注员工的健康和福祉,以及上游供应链中的小型和微型供应商所有者的心理健康和福祉。原创性/价值 这是首次有研究表明,在买方滥用行为这一背景因素存在的情况下,行业活力和气候风险暴露会对小型和微型供应商产生负面影响,并最终对可持续供应链绩效维度产生负面影响。

期刊介绍: The International Journal of Logistics Management (IJLM) is a scholarly publication that focuses on empirical research, with a particular emphasis on qualitative studies. The journal is committed to publishing articles that contribute original ideas to the field of logistics and supply chain management, which are presented in a clear and scientifically rigorous manner. All submissions undergo a rigorous, anonymous peer review process to ensure the quality and relevance of the research. IJLM serves as a platform for the development and examination of management theories and practices in logistics and supply chain management. The journal aims to bridge the gap between academic research and practical application, providing a forum for researchers, practitioners, and educators to share insights and knowledge.
