Purpose: This study aimed to explore the relationship between supply chain resilience (SCR) and organizational performance (OP), with innovation (INN) serving as a mediator and information sharing (IS) acting as a moderator. Design/methodology/approach: The study comprehensively examined the connections between SCR, OP, INN and IS. An exploratory approach and quantitative methods were employed. The data were collected from small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises of three cities Xian, Hainan and Guangzhou of China via online questionnaire surveys conducted through Emails and WeChat. SmartPLS-4 was used for data analysis. Findings: The findings indicated that SCR has a positive effect on sustainability efforts. Additionally, INN and effective IS both mediated and moderated this relationship, playing crucial roles in improving sustainability within the supply chain. Practical implications: The study offered practical insights for businesses to enhance their sustainability efforts. Managers can use these findings to develop strategies that improve SCR, foster INN and encourage effective IS, ultimately resulting in a more sustainable supply chain. Originality/value: This study enriched the existing knowledge base by investigating the intricate relationships among SCR, OP, INN and IS, all within the context of achieving sustainability. By exploring these elements holistically, the research introduced originality and highlighted effective strategies for sustainable supply chain management.

The advent of the novel coronavirus, also called COVID-19, caused widespread disruptions worldwide. This unprecedented health crisis led to major disruptions in supply chain networks; therefore, innovative strategies and capabilities have the potential to alleviate its impacts. Considering this situation, this study examined how COVID-19 impacted management innovation, the information processing capability, business model innovation, knowledge management capability, and sustainable supply chain performance (SSCP) in Pakistan. To test hypotheses, data were collected from companies in Pakistan engaged in supply chain management or supply chain departments within manufacturing companies, and investigations were carried out employing structural equation modeling. Based on empirical results, COVID-19 outbreaks negatively impacted SSCP, but not management innovation, information processing capability, business model innovation, or the knowledge management capability. Additionally, COVID-19 and SSCP are mediated by management innovation, the processing capability, business model innovation, and the knowledge management capability. By underlining the significance of the resource-based view, dynamic capability, and organizational information processing theories, this research contributes to the body of knowledge on sustainable supply chains. The conceptual model presented in this research may be used in supply chain (SC) and logistics management to reduce COVID-19 disruptions in SC operations and boost profitability during a pandemic.

Purpose: This study aimed to examine how knowledge sharing, knowledge management, supply chain efficiency and integration collectively impacted firm performance. Additionally, it investigated the moderating influence of reverse logistics on these relationships, seeking to enhance understanding of the complex dynamics within organizations. Design/methodology/approach: A comprehensive method was used in the research design, combining a thorough evaluation of the body of literature with organized questionnaire data collection. Random sampling was used to collect data from Pakistani manufacturing companies, and PLS-SEM was used to analyze the collected data. Findings: The findings demonstrated the strong positive relationships between knowledge management, integration, supply chain effectiveness, and information sharing and business performance. The study also showed that reverse logistics improved and moderated these correlations, highlighting the significance of managing reverse logistics well for the best possible company performance. Practical implications: In terms of practical implications, the study offered organizations looking to improve performance useful information. Making informed strategic decisions was made possible by realizing the benefits of knowledge management, integration, supply chain efficiency, and sharing. The relevance of using successful tactics to maximize company outcomes was highlighted by highlighting the moderating effects of reverse logistics. Originality/value: By thoroughly analyzing the connections between knowledge management, supply chain effectiveness, integration, and firm performance—while taking into account the moderating influence of reverse logistics—this study enhanced the body of existing literature. The discoveries significantly added value to this research topic by enhancing our understanding of how these elements collectively influence business performance, especially in the sometimes disregarded field of reverse logistics.

Purpose: This study investigates the relationships between sustainable technology adoption, green supply chain integration, sustainability culture, and environmental performance in organizations. It also explores the moderating effects of government environmental regulations and top management commitment on these relationships. Design: The study employs a comprehensive research design, incorporating literature analysis and empirical data collection via survey. Data was gathered through purposive sampling, involving 244 samples from manufacturing companies in Pakistan. PLS-SEM analysis was used to assess the connections between sustainable technology adoption, green supply chain integration, sustainability culture, environmental performance, and the moderating influence of government regulations and top management commitment. Findings: The results highlight significant positive relationships between sustainable technology adoption, green supply chain integration, sustainability culture, and improved environmental performance. Additionally, government environmental regulations and top management commitment were identified as moderators that strengthened these relationships, emphasizing their pivotal role in fostering sustainability within organizations. Originality or Value: The study contributes to our understanding of how sustainable technology adoption, green supply chain integration, sustainability culture, and environmental performance are interconnected, while also considering the influence of government regulations and top management commitment. These findings enrich our knowledge of factors that promote sustainability in organizations.
