Purpose

Supply chain (SC) disruption, whether demand sided or supply sided, is conversely perceived to affect organisational performance of construction firms. This paper, therefore, aims to examine the linkage of supply chain disruptions with organisational performance of construction firms through the moderating role of innovation.

Design/methodology/approach

Using a quantitative research, approach the views of 84 construction professionals were elicited using a structured questionnaire. Ordinary least squares were utilised to validate the hypotheses set.

Findings

The study proved that there is a negative relationship between demand-related disruption and business performance as well as project performance. Also, it was clear from the study that supply-related disruptions had a significant impact on both project performance and business performance. Although SC innovation was seen to impact business performance, it had no relationship with project performance. Generally, innovation was seen to have a moderating effect of demand and supply disruption of project performance, but it played no moderating role in business performance.

Practical implications

The findings suggest that business firms must be innovative with the supply chain, as it moderated project success. The supply chain of a construction firm plays a very critical role on projects; hence, this study recommends that a supply chain manager ought to be innovative in their operations due to the moderating role SC innovation has on project performance and largely business performance.

Originality/value

Various studies on supply chain has been done on different sectors in the economy; however, little can be said about the construction industry on how supply chain disruptions affects business and project performance and how innovation moderates such effects.

将供应链中断与建筑公司的组织绩效联系起来：创新的调节作用

目的

相反，供应链（SC）中断，无论是需求方面还是供应方面，都被认为会影响建筑公司的组织绩效。因此，本文旨在通过创新的调节作用研究供应链中断与建筑公司组织绩效之间的联系。

设计/方法/方法

使用定量研究方法，使用结构化调查表得出了84位建筑专业人士的观点。普通最小二乘法用于验证假设集。

发现

该研究证明，与需求相关的中断与业务绩效以及项目绩效之间存在负相关关系。此外，从研究中可以清楚地看出，与供应有关的中断对项目绩效和业务绩效都有重大影响。尽管人们认为SC创新会影响业务绩效，但它与项目绩效无关。通常，创新被认为对项目绩效的需求和供应中断有调节作用，但对业务绩效没有调节作用。

实际影响

研究结果表明，商业公司必须在供应链方面进行创新，因为这会缓和项目的成功。建筑公司的供应链在项目中起着至关重要的作用。因此，本研究建议，由于供应链创新对项目绩效和很大程度上对业务绩效的调节作用适中，因此供应链经理应在运营中进行创新。

创意/价值

在经济的不同部门对供应链进行了各种研究；但是，关于建筑行业，关于供应链中断如何影响业务和项目绩效以及创新如何缓和这种影响的说法很少。
