Examining the Impact of Supply Chain Management and Open Innovation on Sustainability Performance in Thailand: The Mediating Role of Organizational Learning Culture
Hui Liu, Xiugang Yang
This study examines the impact of supply chain management (SCM) and open innovation (OI) on sustainability performance (SP) in Thailand, emphasizing the mediating role of organizational learning culture (OLC). Utilizing a sample of 400 organizations, data was analyzed using structural equation modelling (SEM) to explore the direct and indirect relationships among the constructs. The findings reveal that SCM significantly enhances both OI and SP. OI, in turn, positively influences SP. Moreover, OLC is identified as a critical mediator, significantly affecting the relationship between SCM and SP. The indirect effects further confirm that OLC strengthens the pathway from SCM to SP through OI. These results underscore the importance of fostering a strong learning culture within organizations to maximize the benefits of SCM and innovation on sustainability outcomes. This study contributes to the existing literature by providing empirical evidence from the Thai context. It offers practical implications for managers seeking to improve sustainability performance through strategic supply chain and innovation practices. Future research could extend these findings across different regions and industries to enhance the generalizability of the results. In conclusion, integrating SCM, OI, and OLC is pivotal for organizations aiming to achieve sustainable development..
