Antecedents and outcomes of supply chain security practices: the role of organizational security culture and supply chain disruption occurrence

Abstract

PurposeThe study examines organizational security culture as the driver of supply chain security (SCS) practices (information management security, facility management security and human resource security). Additionally, the study examines the minimization of occurrence of supply chain disruption as the outcome of SCS practices.Design/methodology/approachA research model grounded on the contingency theory and the dynamic capabilities theory was developed and tested using partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM). Data was obtained from 110 manufacturing and service firms in Ghana.FindingsIt was revealed that organizational security culture has a positive and a significant impact on information management security, facility management security and human resource security as hypothesized. In addition, facility management security significantly minimized supply chain disruption occurrence as hypothesized but information management security and human resource security did not.Originality/valueTo the best of the researchers' knowledge, this is the first study that examines organizational security culture as the driver of SCS practices. Additionally, the study is novel in examining the interplay between organizational security culture, SCS practices and supply chain disruption.

Examining the relationship between dimensions of supply chain integration, operational performance and firm performance: evidence from Ghana

“…This aligns with findings of previous studies which found that supplier integration did not directly enhance operational performance (Flynn et al , 2010; Koufteros et al , 2005; Swink et al , 2007). It has been noted that, particularly in developing countries, institutional voids and technological shortage mean that systems and practices such as just-in-time supply and vendor managed inventories which help firms achieve high levels of supplier integration have not been adopted to a high level (Adomako et al , 2020; Asamoah et al , 2021). This may have resulted in the inability of firms to realize operational performance benefits from their supplier integration.…”

“…Finally, there is very little empirical evidence from the unique context of Africa on how dimensions of SCI enhance firm performance outcomes (Khanuja and Jain, 2019). The results of SCI studies from other regions, when generalized to African firms, may not be valid due to the considerable context-specific institutional differences and challenges in Africa (Asamoah et al , 2016; Asamoah et al , 2021). It is therefore interesting and important to examine the relationships between dimensions of SCI and how they impact on firm performance within the context of a developing African economy.…”

“…The study also augments the relatively little SCI studies conducted in developing country contexts given that prior studies have been predominantly conducted in mature economies (Cannon et al , 2010; Rosenzweig, 2009). Mature economies have substantial differences relating to political, social and economic systems compared to developing countries and as such findings from mature economies may not be valid when applied to a developing country’s context (Zhao et al , 2007; Liu et al , 2013; Asamoah et al , 2015; Asamoah et al , 2021). The findings of this study conducted in Ghana, a developing African country, therefore provides timely insights into performance outcomes of SCI for firms operating in Ghana and Africa to a larger extent.…”

Enterprise risk management and information technology security in the financial sector

“…Accordingly, the presence of such resources in any firm could earn the organization an advantage over its competing organization and also attain an upgrade in general firm operations. Earlier studies have looked at IT threats (Safa et al , 2018; McDermott et al , 2019; Siddiqui et al , 2020), Information Systems (IS) development policies (Hina and Dominic, 2017, 2018; Temel and Karimov, 2019) and IS security (Niemimaa and Niemimaa, 2017; Boiko and Shendryk, 2017; Siponen and Baskerville, 2018; Merhi and Ahluwalia, 2019; Svyd et al , 2019; Berdik et al , 2021) and IT security culture (Mahfuth et al , 2017; Nævestad et al , 2018; Nasir et al , 2019; Asamoah et al , 2021). These studies seldom explored the moderated-mediated role of OC and IT strategy on the relationship between ERM and IT security especially within the financial sector in emerging economies where cyberattacks keeps increasing.…”

A proposed circular-SCOR model for supply chain performance measurement in manufacturing industry during COVID-19

“…Moreover, the most crucial feature distinguishing COVID-19 from other global SC problems is the rapidity of its global spread (Ivanov, 2020). This reduces the predictability of risk and makes it challenging to prevent SC disruptions (Asamoah et al, 2022;Dzogbewu et al, 2022). Despite the effects of COVID-19, companies must keep up with changing conditions to ensure sustainability and resilience in their SCs (Yuliana et al, 2022).…”
