Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) practices on both competitive advantage (CA) and organizational performance (OP) in the manufacturing sector in Ethiopia.

Design/methodology/approach

Data for the study were collected from a sample of 221 manufacturing companies operating in the four manufacturing groups/sectors in Ethiopia. In addition, data analysis was performed using the partial least squares method, which is a variance-based Structural Equation Modeling approach in the Smart-PLS software version (SmartPLS 4.0).

Findings

Based on the statistical analysis of the collected data, it demonstrates that SSCM has a significant and positive impact on both competitive advantage and organizational performance. Furthermore, statistical findings offer proof of the clear connection between competitive advantage and organizational performance. Moreover, competitive advantage indirectly mediates the relationship between SSCM and OP.

Research limitations/implications

The primary limitation of this research is its reliance on a cross-sectional design. The generalizability of the findings obtained from the present study may be hindered. The variable under investigation in this research assessed organizational performance, a concept that is widely acknowledged to be extremely dynamic.

Practical implications

The study provides managers and researchers with valuable information on Sustainable Supply Chain Management strategies and how they influence competitive advantage and organizational performance in commercial and industrial environments.

Originality/value

This paper adds to the body of knowledge by providing new data and empirical insights into the relationship between SSCM practices and the performance of manufacturing companies in Ethiopia.

可持续供应链管理实践对制造业竞争优势和组织绩效的影响
本研究旨在探讨埃塞俄比亚制造业中可持续供应链管理(SSCM)实践对竞争优势(CA)和组织绩效(OP)的影响。此外,还使用偏最小二乘法进行了数据分析,这是一种基于方差的结构方程建模方法,使用的是 Smart-PLS 软件版本(SmartPLS 4.0)。此外,统计结果证明了竞争优势与组织绩效之间的明确联系。此外,竞争优势间接调节了 SSCM 与 OP 之间的关系。研究局限/启示本研究的主要局限在于其依赖于横截面设计。本研究结果的可推广性可能会受到影响。本研究调查的变量是组织绩效,而这一概念被广泛认为是极其动态的。本研究为管理人员和研究人员提供了有关可持续供应链管理战略以及这些战略如何影响商业和工业环境中的竞争优势和组织绩效的宝贵信息。
