In the face of an external environment featuring a high level of risk, multiple changes, and high uncertainty, the supply chain’s emergency replenishment, collaborative management, regulation of organic commodity, and low-cost rapid response will promote its’ sustainable growth and development, which is necessary for today’s economic development. The digitization and flexibility of the supply chain are of great value in obtaining the sustainable development of the supply chain. When dealing with an uncertain environment and market risk, current supply chain flexibility not only functions through its internal organizational flexibility, but also through collaborative creation and an extended supply chain network which will proactively form a replenishment supply sub-chain driven by the need for change responsiveness. This article constructs an associated model consisting of digitization, supply chain flexibility, and sustainability using an empirical analysis method to explore the implicit correlation of these factors. The analysis results of the mediating effect model show that both digitization and flexibility have significant positive effects on the sustainable development of the supply chain. Collaborative knowledge creation and supply chain flexibility play multiple mediating roles while market uncertainty positively moderates the impact of supply chain flexibility on supply chain sustainable development.

Using the organization information processing theory, we explored the process through which the informative support of crowd logistics platforms affects logistics performance. After collecting data from 321 respondents from two crowd logistics companies in China, we proposed and tested the theoretical framework empirically using SEM. To conduct the empirical study, we developed scales for platform’s informative support and the degree of logistics resources-demand match, respectively. The results indicate that a platform’s informative support improves logistics performance via two mediators, i.e., logistics resources-demand match and logistics agility. Moreover, a platform’s ease of use moderates the indirect process through which its informative support promotes logistics performance via logistics resources-demand match. However, a platform’s ease of use has no significant effect on the indirect process of its informative support affecting logistics performance via logistics agility. This paper extends our understanding on how the informative support of crowd logistics platforms predicts logistics performance.

This study investigates how digital overload and perceived digital surveillance affect job performance in the Bangladeshi banking sector. It specifically focuses on technostress as a mediating variable and perceived organizational support (POS) as a moderating variable-two mechanisms central to understanding employees' responses to digital stressors. As digitalization reshapes the banking sector, employees face increasing pressures from these digital demands, that can significantly influence their job performance. By surveying 468 banking employees, the study employs the Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) model and the Transactional Theory of Stress to examine how digital stressors contribute to technostress, which subsequently impacts job performance. The findings reveal that digital overload and perceived surveillance significantly elevate technostress, which in turn positively influences job performance. Additionally, POS moderates this relationship by strengthening the positive effect of technostress on performance, suggesting that organizational support enables employees to harness technostress as a motivating force. This research makes a novel contribution to the literature by integrating technostress within the framework of digital transformation in the banking sector, a topic underexplored in the Bangladeshi context. The study not only advances theoretical understanding of digital work stressors but also offers practical insights for organizations aiming to maintain employee performance and well-being amid ongoing digital change. It underscores the importance of organizational support as a key enabler of effective digital transformation.

In order to cope with the multimodal changes led by the digital era, enterprises urgently need to promote the construction of new-quality productive forces (NQPFs) through digital transformation. NQPFs take digital technology empowerment as the core driving force and emphasize the dynamic matching and synergy between the new-quality elements (digital infrastructure, digital talents, data resources, and diversified ecology) and the new-quality capabilities (digital dynamic capabilities) so as to unleash the innovation potentials of different production modes. Based on resource orchestration theory, this study constructs a “resource-capability-value creation” framework for digital empowerment (D-RCV) and employs fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) to examine 205 enterprise samples. Results reveal that enhanced innovation performance stems from digital empowerment at both resource and capability levels, generating three configurational paths: collaborative symbiosis, resource optimization, and data-driven approaches. These paths emerge through the interaction of resources and capabilities under different conditions. This study contributes by proposing a digital empowerment framework and exploring multiple pathway choices for new-quality productivity development. The findings provide theoretical insights for enterprise innovation research and practical guidance for innovation management strategies.

This study examines how environmental regulation (ER), green intellectual capital (GIC), green human resource management (GHRM), and green ambidextrous innovation (GAI) contribute to enhancing the sustainable performance (SP) of manufacturing firms. Using a quantitative approach, data from 472 managers of green garment manufacturing firms in Bangladesh were analyzed with SmartPLS4 software. The results indicate that GHRM and GIC positively impact SP, with GIC exerting a stronger influence on GAI—encompassing green exploitative innovation (EIGI) and green exploratory innovation (ERGI)—compared to GHRM. Additionally, GAI positively affects SP and serves as a partial mediator in the GIC-SP relationship but not in the GHRM-SP relationship. ER negatively moderates the GHRM-SP and GHRM-GAI links, while it positively moderates the GIC-GAI relationship, albeit weakly in the GIC-SP connection. This study highlights GAI’s mediating roles in the GHRM-SP (specifically, GHRM-EIGI-SP and GHRM-ERGI-SP) and GIC-SP (specifically, GIC-EIGI-SP and GIC-ERGI-SP) relationships within a regulatory context. By introducing fresh perspectives, this research advances green management studies, offering valuable insights for academics and industry professionals. It provides a strategic framework for firms to navigate regulations, foster innovation, optimize human and intangible resources, and enhance sustainable performance, thereby positioning themselves as leaders in the global market.

The deep-seated intersection between intrapreneurial activities and innovation presents a new paradigm with innovation at its core. This study explores the relationship between intrapreneurial capabilities and the development of high-tech small and medium-sized enterprises (HTSMEs) and examines the role and impact of ambidextrous innovation and knowledge heterogeneity. We employed a questionnaire survey of 649 HTSMEs in China, and the data are analysed using structural equation modelling. The results indicate that HTSMEs could achieve sustainable development by improving their intrapreneurial capabilities, while ambidextrous innovation plays a mediating role. When knowledge heterogeneity is introduced as a moderating variable, the results indicate that knowledge heterogeneity has a negative partial moderating effect on the relationship between intrapreneurial capabilities and ambidextrous innovation. This study contributes to our understanding of intrapreneurial capabilities by introducing balanced ambidextrous innovation and knowledge heterogeneity. Ultimately, the results suggest that HTSMEs should focus on building intrapreneurial capabilities and balance the needs of ambidextrous innovation as a path to achieving sustainable development. However, firms need to control the effect of internal knowledge heterogeneity in the innovation process.
