Abstract

Decisions made by supply chain managers have a far-reaching impact on the economic, environmental, and social performance of entire supply chains, even though many activities in the supply chain occur beyond the direct control of those managers. Some firms establish a line of moral disengagement, beyond which they distance themselves from the impact of the activities of the supply chain. This research addresses the question of why some managers choose to take responsibility for the sustainability of their supply chain, while others do not. We argue that the ethical predisposition and moral complexity of the individual employee moderates the interpretation of the drivers of sustainability, increasing or decreasing their ability to build a business case for supply chain responsibility. We also argue that ethical predisposition moderates the likelihood of a business case being enacted. We then discuss theoretical and managerial implications resulting from this finding.

供应链责任和可持续性
供应链管理者所做的决策对整个供应链的经济、环境和社会绩效有着深远的影响,尽管供应链中的许多活动超出了这些管理者的直接控制。一些公司建立了一条道德脱离线,超出了这条线,他们就把自己与供应链活动的影响拉开了距离。这项研究解决了为什么一些管理者选择对其供应链的可持续性负责,而另一些则不这样做的问题。我们认为,个体员工的道德倾向和道德复杂性调节了对可持续性驱动因素的解释,增加或减少了他们为供应链责任建立商业案例的能力。我们还认为,道德倾向会调节商业案例被制定的可能性。然后,我们讨论由此发现的理论和管理意义。
