The study investigates the relationship between the information and communication-enabled supply chain integration (SCI) and sustainable supply chain performance (SSCP). Moreover, to the best of our knowledge, there is no empirical evidence on the impact of blockchain technologies (BT) on the SSCP. Therefore, the primary aim of this study is to assess the relationship between BT and SSCP. More specifically, the study was conducted to examine the direct influence of BT on SCI and SSCP and the interactive effect of BT and SCI on SSCP. Based on the dynamic capability theoretical lens, the present study conceptualizes the use of BT as a specific IT resource to collaborate and reconfigure the ties with the upstream and downstream supply chain members to achieve SSCP. The results of the study support the hypothesis stating that BT positively influences the SSCP. The results recognize the role of SCI as a significant mediating variable between the BT and SSCP. The result indicates the strong influence of SCI with full mediation effect on the relationship between the BT and SSCP.

该研究调查了基于信息和通信的供应链集成 (SCI) 与可持续供应链绩效 (SSCP) 之间的关系。此外，据我们所知，没有经验证据表明区块链技术 (BT) 对 SSCP 的影响。因此，本研究的主要目的是评估 BT 和 SSCP 之间的关系。更具体地说，该研究旨在检验 BT 对 SCI 和 SSCP 的直接影响以及 BT 和 SCI 对 SSCP 的交互作用。基于动态能力理论视角，本研究将 BT 用作特定 IT 资源的概念化，以协作和重新配置与上下游供应链成员的联系以实现 SSCP。研究结果支持了 BT 对 SSCP 产生积极影响的假设。结果认识到 SCI 作为 BT 和 SSCP 之间的重要中介变量的作用。结果表明具有完全中介作用的SCI对BT和SSCP之间的关系有很强的影响。
