The present paper attempts, through presenting a conceptual model and testing it empirically, to explore the impact of digital supply chain capabilities (DSCC) on both supply chain risk management (SCRM) and supply chain resilience (SCR) in addition to testing moderated mediation effects through supply chain analytics (SCA).
To test these hypothesized relationships, a sample of manufacturing companies in an emerging country was selected and the data were analyzed from 217 questionnaire responses. Partial least squares–structural equation modelling and PROCESS procedure were used in the data analysis, processing and testing process to test the direct, indirect, moderating and moderated mediation hypotheses.
The empirical results revealed that all hypotheses were accepted, as DSCC had an effect on both SCRM and SCR. However, it was also confirmed that SCRM mediates the positive relationship between DSCC and SCR, and SCA moderates the positive effect of DSCC on SCRM. After testing the moderated mediation effects, it was also confirmed that this hypothesis was supported, as the indirect relationship that arises due to SCRM between DSCC and SCR varies positively with different levels of SCA.
Although the current study has reached interesting, fresh and unprecedented results in the literature, it has been exposed to limitations that may represent a new beginning for launching more research in the future, bridging the research gap and expanding the discussion base in the supply chain management literature.
These interesting results have valuable theoretical and managerial contributions to the supply chain literature.
