The impact of supply chain transparency and supply chain resilience on supply chain risk management: a moderation effect modeling

Purpose This study aims to examine the direct impact of supply chain transparency (SCT) on supply chain resilience (SCR), evaluate the effect of SCR on supply chain risk management (SCRM) and then explore the moderating effect of blockchain technology (BCT). Design/methodology/approach To achieve the set objectives, and through information processing theory, this paper developed a conceptual model that describes hypothesized relationships empirically through a sample of 221 managers in the agricultural companies sector in one of the emerging countries. A questionnaire was developed to collect data and test hypothesized relationships. After evaluating the validity and reliability of the questionnaire, the hypothesized paths were tested, which were positive. Findings The results reached through the partial least squares-structural equation modeling showed that hypothesized relationships were statistically significant and all relationships were positive. The results provided support for the hypotheses that SCT positively affects SCR, SCR plays a positive role in SCRM and BCT positively moderates the relationship between SCR and SCRM. Originality/value According to the results obtained in this research work, many new and fresh contributions to the supply chain management literature can be used to improve risk management in agricultural supply chains.
