At the crossroads of innovation and responsibility, our study delves into CSR’s pivotal role in steering organizations toward sustainable value creation. Combining the frameworks of stakeholder theory, the resource-based view, and dynamic capabilities theory, this study examines the influence of corporate social responsibility (CSR) in enhancing sustainable value creation (SVC), with a keen focus on how organizational learning (OL) and innovation capability (IC) mediate this relationship and the degree to which stakeholder engagement (SE) moderates the impact of CSR on OL, IC, and SVC. Using a quantitative research approach, 416 managers in the Turkish manufacturing sector (e.g., textiles, building materials, and food processing firms) were surveyed using electronic and physical questionnaires. To test the research model, AMOS 24 was employed. The results confirmed that CSR positively influences SVC, OL, and IC; OL and IC positively influence SVC; OL and IC partially mediate the relationship between CSR and SVC. Likewise, the findings suggest that stakeholder engagement (SE) plays a moderate role in strengthening the relationship between CSR and organizational learning (OL), CSR and innovation capability (IC), and CSR and sustainable value creation (SVC), with increased SE enhancing the positive effect of CSR on OL, IC, and SVC. This study explains the complex ways that CSR enhances SVC, focusing on OL and IC’s mediating roles and SE’s moderating effects. It offers manufacturing sectors in Turkey useful information for promoting sustainability and innovation.

In the context of the rapidly evolving landscape shaped by the increased prevalence of digital technologies and the transformative dynamics of supply chains in the post-COVID-19 era, this research seeks to address a crucial gap by examining the mediating role played by supply chain integration and efficiency. The primary aim is to provide a more comprehensive and nuanced understanding of how digitalization influences networks of supply chain performance. Moreover, we delve into the moderating impact of supply chain dynamism on shaping this association. Through a simple random sampling technique, survey data were collected from 293 Turkish manufacturing firms via an online survey and analyzed using structural equation modeling. The findings underscore that digitalization significantly enhances supply chain integration and efficiency, thereby contributing to improved supply chain performance. Notably, supply chain integration and efficiency were identified as key mediators in the relationship between digitalization and supply chain performance. Furthermore, we investigate the moderating effect of supply chain dynamism, revealing its positive influence on the association between digitalization and supply chain integration. Rooted in key theories such as the resource-based view and dynamic capabilities, this study provides valuable insights by unraveling the intricate processes through which digitalization’s impact is channeled in the post-COVID-19 era. The research extends the current literature by considering the contextual role of supply chain dynamism, shedding light on the complex dynamics between digitalization and supply chain outcomes.

At the heart of supply chain innovation lies the challenge of complexity, a pivotal force shaping the pathways to resilience and sustainable success in today’s business environment. Drawing from the resource-based view, dynamic capabilities, and contingency theories, this study examines the impact of green innovation strategies on supply chain resilience through the mediation role of green logistics management practices and the moderation effects of dynamic and structural supply chain complexity. Leveraging a quantitative approach, this study surveyed 404 managers from manufacturing firms in Turkey using a combination of physical and electronic questionnaires. Our analysis robustly supports the interconnected roles of green innovation strategy and logistics management practices in bolstering supply chain resilience. A green innovation strategy significantly enhances green logistics management practices and supply chain resilience. Further, green logistics practices contribute positively to supply chain resilience, acting as a crucial mediator in translating green innovation strategies into heightened supply chain resilience. Additionally, the effectiveness of green innovation strategies in improving green logistics management practices is amplified in less structurally complex supply chains. In contrast, the impact of green logistics practices on supply chain resilience becomes more pronounced in environments with lower dynamic complexity, highlighting the nuanced influence of supply chain complexity on sustainability efforts. The study’s findings contribute a novel perspective to the sustainability discourse, emphasizing complexity’s nuanced role as a determinant of supply chain resilience.

Although organizational green culture and environmental ethics are increasingly acknowledged as crucial, few studies have comprehensively examined the interconnected relationship between green innovation and sustainable performance, particularly within manufacturing firms. As such, this study empirically examines the relationship between environmental ethics and sustainable performance through the mediating roles of green process and product innovations and the moderating role of organizational green culture on these relationships. It is grounded in stakeholder theory and a resource-based view. This study utilizes 236 valid cross-sectional data points from manufacturing firms in Turkey to test the proposed integrated theoretical model through structural equation modeling (SEM). Environmental ethics is positively associated with sustainable performance, green process innovation, and green product innovation. Green process innovation positively affects sustainable performance. Additionally, both green process and product innovations mediate the relationship between environmental ethics and sustainable performance. Moreover, organizational green culture enhances the relationship between environmental ethics and both green process innovation and green product innovation while moderating its role in sustainable performance. The findings highlight how environmental ethics, mediated by green innovation and moderated by organizational green culture, can drive sustainable performance, offering valuable insights for managers aiming to enhance sustainability initiatives in the manufacturing sector.

Academics and practitioners have shown growing interests in big data analytics and artificial intelligence (BDA-AI) in recent years. Despite this, research on the application of BDA-AI for green supply chain collaboration (GSCC) and its influence on environmental performance (EP) is still limited. The current research addresses this gap and extends organizational information processing theory by incorporating BDA-AI and exploring top management commitment (TMC) as a moderator. The current study developed a moderated mediation model based on 402 samples of data from Turkish manufacturing firms. The result revealed that the application of BDA-AI has a positive impact on GSCC and EP. The results also indicated that GSCC has a positive impact on EP. Our findings revealed that GSCC mediated the association between BDA-AI and EP. The results also revealed that TMC moderated the positive relationship between BDA-AI and GSCC, such that the strength of the positive relationship is further intensified at higher levels of TMC. The results also show that TMC moderated the positive relationship between BDA-AI and EP, such that the strength of the positive relationship is dampened at lower levels of TMC; significant findings have not been outlined in the extant literature. The current research will assist supply chain and logistics managers and top management in deploying BDA-AI technology to support GSCC and improve EP.

The COVID-19 crisis has notably impacted global supply chains as it has disrupted manufacturing operations. To recover from the aforementioned disruptions, supply chain digitalization [SCD] is increasingly being acknowledged to help the recovery process. Based on this, scholars have called for additional research on how SCD can enhance supply chain visibility [SCV] and boost supply chain performance [SCP] in turbulent environments. Based on 399 valid responses collected through cross-sectional method from Turkish manufacturing firms and using a non-probabilistic sampling method [i.e., purposive sampling], this research explores the effect of SCD on SCP. The mediating role of SCV and the moderating role of supply chain survivability [SCS] on the SCD-SCP relationship were also explored. The findings showed that SCD has a positive effect on SCP. SCD has a positive effect on SCV. SCV has a positive effect on SCP. The link between SCD and SCP is mediated by SCP. The results also revealed that SCS moderated the SCD-SCV link such that SCD has a stronger, positive relationship with SCV when SCS is high than when it's low. SCS moderates the SCD-SCP link, such that at low levels of SCS, the positive effect of SCD on SCP is weakened. The indirect positive effect of SCD on SCP via SCV is strongest when supply chain survivability is high. The findings suggest that SCD can improve cost-effectiveness, promote communication and information efficiency, and enhance supply chain resilience to improve performance after disruptions. This study provides insightful new implications for both supply chain literature and practitioners.
