Mediation approach of knowledge management process towards supply chain performance under green technology: an empirical analysis

Abstract

PurposeEmployee knowledge is an essential contributor to managing supply chain ambiguities and supply improvement. The current research examined green technology (GT) implementation and knowledge management (KM) processes toward knowledge worker supply performance (KWSP). The present study postulates that GT implementation's positive impacts on the KM process and KM process lead to improved KWSP based on employee knowledge contribution.Design/methodology/approachTo accomplish the research objective, the data were taken from those production houses that are utilizing GT. A total of 400 questionnaires were distributed in Zhengzhou city, and feedback was received (343). The feedback data were studied through partial least squares-structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) and fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA). fsQCA is used to analyze improving the multiple configurational paths of KWSP.FindingsThe study revealed that GT implementation is positively associated with the KM process, and KM processes substantially influence the improvement of KWSP. The consequence of fsQCA demonstrated that various combinations improve supply chain performance. The study combines certain dimensions of GT implementation with the KM process, revealing that supply chain performance improved based on knowledge sharing in manufacturing firms.Research limitations/implicationsThis study guides decision-makers and academics on using the knowledge process associated with GT to improve supply chain performance. Moreover, future researchers should use information technology in supply houses and compare the result with the literature to generalize the results better.Originality/valueThe asymmetric technique assists in differentiating the connections that are not directly investigated by the traditional symmetric method. The study covers and identifies various approaches that can be used in manufacturing firms to improve the supply chain process and employee satisfaction. The study combines the two techniques to understand supply performance based on knowledge sharing in manufacturing firms.

Assessing the role of organizational strategic factors in stimulating green innovation performance: moderating effects of green absorptive capacity

“…From the perspective of the RBV theory, leadership backing is deemed a critical asset as it shapes the organizational culture and guides the distribution of resources. When leaders prioritize environmental sustainability and allocate resources to eco-friendly projects, it acts as a strong message throughout the organization (Majali et al ., 2022; Alam et al ., 2023). Moreover, the concept of a GLO suggests that employees are motivated to engage with and contribute to environmental initiatives.…”

Fostering hotel ambidexterity through knowledge-sharing culture and knowledge-sharing behavior: a study of the hospitality sector in Pakistan

“…Knowledge-sharing behavior is linked with innovation and therefore it leads to exploration (Bashir, 2023;Alam et al, 2023b;Cho et al, 2019;Zhang et al, 2022;Singh, 2019). Knowledgesharing behavior makes the flow of explicit and implicit knowledge among employees easier, which results in collective learning Sahibzada and Mumtaz (2023), thus collective learning is a key source of exploitation and exploration or dual innovations (Mahmood et al, 2019;Yang et al, 2018).…”

Does knowledge collecting and donating enhance a bank's salesperson performance?

“…However, it has minimized human-contact interactions. Employees' knowledge is critical to banking performance (Alam et al, 2023;Sahibzada and Mumtaz, 2023), and they are expected to be committed to their work and deliver high-quality services (Djalil et al, 2023). Bank managers, including salespersons, are expected to support this demand; therefore, more understanding of the market situation will help salespeople to maintain long-term bank sustainability.…”
