“…Supply Chain-Firm Performance (SCFP) reveals how well a firm's SC fulfills its objectives compared to its prime opponents (Cao & Zhang, 2011;Lu et al, 2018b;Pahi et al, 2023). This study measured performance by sales growth, profit margin, return on investment (ROI), and growth in ROI.…”

The COVID-19 outbreak in 2020–2021 caused unprecedented disruptions to global supply networks. Companies worldwide faced significant challenges as they dealt with the unexpected surge in demand for specific goods and services. This study delves into the importance of supply chain coordination (SCCO), supply chain resilience (SCRE), and supply chain robustness (SCRB), considering supply chain flexibility (SCFL) and Internet of Things and Big Data Analytics (IoT-BDA) integration. We explore how SCFL influences SCCO, SCRE, and SCRB, enhancing supply chain performance (SCFP). Using a cross sectional approach, we collected survey-based responses to ensure comprehensive representation from the supply chain domain. A total of 217 complete responses were collected and analyzed using AMOS 20. The findings suggest that SCCO, SCRE, and SCRB act as mediators between SCFL and IoT-BDA. However, statistical significance between SCCO and SCRB with SCRE was not established. The study emphasizes the robust predictive nature of SCFL, highlighting its pivotal role in fostering SCCO, SCRE, and SCBR through empirical evidence. Furthermore, it emphasizes the influence of SCFL on enhancing SCFP, particularly in the post-pandemic era.

“…In this connection the organizations will have to train their skilled human resources for the best outputs in context to green environmental effects. Hence, the green HR managers will have to play their vital role by training the human resources to have green environmental effects (Pahi et al, 2023). Therefore, the human resources need to have green knowledge that how to operate the man and machinery within the organizations for green productivity and serviceability.…”

The study examined the impact of green practices of human resources, empowered interaction capability and green innovation behavior over green environmental effects by moderating effects of green cultures. The research took chemical industry as population, and obtained 220 respondents working in chemical industry of Karachi city as sample. SPSS was used for statistical analysis and PLS4.0 was employed for SEM modeling. Therefore, the results revealed that there is a positive relationship between green practices of human resources, empowered interaction capability and green innovation behaviors of the human resources over green environmental effects by moderating effects of green cultures. This study aimed to provide theoretical and practical implications and insightfulness that how to promote green practices to ensure green environmental effects.

PurposeThe present study aimed at analyzing the hypothesized relationship between human resource (HR) flexibility and firm performance with the mediating effect of firm innovation and the moderating role of firm-level power distance orientation.Design/methodology/approachThe proposed hypotheses were tested with the two-wave data collected from 209 registered information technology (IT) firms operating in Pakistan. The SMART-PLS examined the model’s hypothesized moderated, mediated and moderated-mediation relationships.FindingsThe results confirmed significant relationships between HR flexibility, firm innovation and performance while showing that the link between HR flexibility and firm performance is mediated by firm innovation. The results demonstrated that the firm-level power distance orientation negatively affected the HR flexibility–firm innovation link. These findings provide implications on how HR flexibility leverages firm innovation and performance. However, a power distance orientation in firms may diminish the positive effect of HR flexibility.Practical implicationsHR practitioners and top management can leverage these findings to design and implement policies that promote HR flexibility within IT firms for superior innovation and performance.Originality/valueOur study offers valuable insights into the contribution of HR flexibility to firm innovation and performance. Specifically, the findings indicate that power distance orientation negatively affects the relationships between HR flexibility, firm innovation and performance. Therefore, HR practitioners and top management can leverage these findings to design and implement policies that promote HR flexibility within IT firms for superior innovation and performance.
