Sustainable supply chain learning and employee green creativity: Implications for disruption management and green competitiveness

Exploring ways to maintain and safeguard supply chain operations and performance is essential in today's business environment. Learning from the COVID-19 pandemic situations shows that current or traditional supply chain management strategies are less potent in managing supply chain disruption. The study adopted the partial least square structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) technique to make data analysis and interpretations because it is considered suitable for predictive research models. Scrutiny of the data showed that sustainable supply chain learning is a critical antecedent for employee green creativity. Both were fundamental to managing supply chain disruptions, promoting green competitiveness and increasing economic performance. Remarkably, among sustainable supply chain learning and employee green creativity, the latter was most robust in predicting disruption management, green competitiveness, and economic performance.
