Abstract

The dynamic interaction between supply chain resilience (SCR) and sustainability has become a crucial area of study in the evolving business landscape. While research has made strides in connecting information technology (IT) and SCR, a gap remains in understanding how sustainability dimensions integrate into these aspects, particularly in socio-economically and environmentally challenged countries. This study aims to address this gap by investigating how IT and SCR contribute to enhancing overall supply chain performance, with a specific focus on the role of social (SS), environmental (ENS), and economic (ECS) sustainability dimensions. To achieve this, we formulated hypotheses that were tested using structural equation modeling, based on data from a sample of 321 apparel enterprises in Bangladesh. The findings reveal that IT significantly enhances resilience, while SCR does not directly improve supply chain performance when sustainability dimensions are considered. However, SCR positively influences all dimensions of sustainability, underscoring the importance of the combined strength of IT and SCR for achieving enduring sustainability in an uncertain world. Moreover, the results show that the triad of sustainability (SS, ENS, and ECS) fully mediates the relationship between resilience and supply chain performance, serving as the linchpin that binds and strengthens these elements. This research advances the understanding of the interplay between IT, resilience, and sustainability, providing valuable guidance for policymakers and sustainability professionals. Moreover, by integrating sustainability into IT and resilience strategies, organizations can enhance their supply chain performance and ensure long-term success.

实现可持续发展:通过信息技术、复原力和可持续性整合提高供应链绩效的三重关系
在不断变化的商业环境中,供应链复原力(SCR)与可持续性之间的动态互动已成为一个重要的研究领域。虽然研究在信息技术(IT)与供应链恢复力之间的联系方面取得了长足进步,但在理解可持续发展层面如何与这些方面相结合方面仍存在差距,尤其是在社会经济和环境面临挑战的国家。本研究旨在通过研究信息技术和供应链可持续发展如何有助于提高供应链的整体绩效来弥补这一空白,并特别关注社会(SS)、环境(ENS)和经济(ECS)可持续发展维度的作用。为此,我们根据孟加拉国 321 家服装企业的样本数据提出了假设,并使用结构方程模型进行了检验。研究结果表明,当考虑可持续发展维度时,信息技术能显著增强复原力,而 SCR 并不能直接提高供应链绩效。然而,SCR 对可持续发展的所有维度都有积极影响,凸显了信息技术和 SCR 的综合优势对于在不确定世界中实现持久可持续发展的重要性。此外,研究结果表明,可持续发展的三要素(SS、ENS 和 ECS)完全介导了复原力与供应链绩效之间的关系,是结合和加强这些要素的关键。这项研究加深了人们对信息技术、复原力和可持续发展之间相互作用的理解,为政策制定者和可持续发展专业人士提供了宝贵的指导。此外,通过将可持续发展融入信息技术和复原力战略,企业可以提高供应链绩效,确保长期成功。
