Impact of green supply chain integration management on business performance: a mediating role of supply chain resilience and innovation the case of Saudi Arabian manufacturing sector

Abstract

This study examines the impact of green supply chain integration on business performance in the Saudi Arabian manufacturing sector, focusing on the mediating role of supply chain resilience and innovation. Inferential statistical techniques, including correlation and regression analyses, were applied to data collected from 450 respondents. The study found a strong positive correlation between green supply chain integration and company performance, supporting the hypothesis that better company performance is associated with green supply chain integration. Additionally, this study investigates the mediating effects of supply chain resilience and innovation. The results indicate that supply chain resilience negatively affects green supply chain integration, whereas innovation positively mediates the relationship between green supply chain integration and company performance. Furthermore, environmental supplier selection and eco-friendly production methods were found to be positively correlated but not statistically significant, suggesting the need for further investigation in this area. The findings underscore the importance of fostering a culture of innovation and environmental responsibility in Saudi Arabian manufacturing enterprises. The study concludes with implications for future practices, suggesting the need for strategic investments in innovation-driven strategies and collaborative partnerships to promote sustainable development within the supply chain.
