Green supply chain management and competitive advantage: The mediating role of organizational ambidexterity

Abstract

This study develops a research framework to study the impact of green supply chains with three dimensions, namely green purchasing, green manufacturing, and green marketing to achieve competitive advantage with the existence of organizational ambidexterity as a mediating variable in Jordanian industrial companies. The study targeted the most important Jordanian industrial companies, which included 46 industrial companies out of 66 companies listed on the Amman Stock Exchange. The researchers personally administered 181 questionnaires, responses were analyzed using descriptive statistics, and the appropriate statistical methods were chosen to test the hypotheses of the study and reach its results. The findings indicate that all elements of green supply chain management, namely green purchasing, green manufacturing, and green marketing had a significant impact on competitive advantage. Also, green manufacturing and green marketing had a significant effect on organizational ambidexterity, but there was no significant impact for green purchasing on organizational ambidexterity, finally, the results of the study showed that organizational ambidexterity plays a significant mediating role in the relationship between green manufacturing, green marketing, and competitive advantage.

Effect of business intelligence on operational performance: the mediating role of supply chain ambidexterity

“…Hence, we expect not just a direct impact of SCA on OP but also an indirect effect of SCA in the BI-OP relationship. This finds support from prior studies (Aljumah et al, 2021;Pertheban and Arokiasamy, 2019;Chams-Anturi et al, 2019;Belhadi et al, 2021;Zhao et al, 2021;Al-khawaldah et al, 2022), which indicated that organizational ambidexterity plays an indirect role in improving the performance of firms. This study based on the contradictory views expressed re-examines the relationship by posing the third and fourth hypotheses.…”

The mediating role of organizational capabilities on the relationship between lean supply chain and operational performance

“…Lean supply chains are essential for contemporary organizations, and they aim at quick and effective response to changing customers' needs (Alshawabkeh et al, 2022;Green et al,2019), by dealing with the unsteady demands and short product life cycles, and by responding to delivery requests in terms of quantity, quality and speed (Al-khawaldah et al, 2022;Inman, & Green,2021). They are all the activities and processes that help in maintaining the flow of goods, services, information, and money from the moment they are produced to the moment of their consumption and contribute to reducing costs and wastes and meeting the needs of customers (Ikumapayi et al, 2020).…”

Barriers to adopt industry 4.0 in supply chains using interpretive structural modeling

“…The fourth industrial revolution is a result of integrating supply chains into information and telecommunication technologies (Al-Nawafah et al, 2022;Al-khawaldah et al, 2022;Ghadge et al, 2020;Sharma et al, 2021). Since digitization is an important component of the success of supply chains in the current business environment, companies seek to adopt and use industry 4.0 technologies.…”
