Investigating the Relationship between Supply Chain Management Strategy and Sustainable Supply Chain Performance with Structural Equation Modeling Approach

Although productivity is at the heart of the success of any supply chain, a broader approach that encompasses economic, environmental and social aspects is a better way to achieve sustainable success. The increasing importance of measuring sustainable supply chain performance is due to competition between independent organizations whose supply chains are in competition. To this end, the present study seeks to investigate the role of supply chain management strategy in sustainable supply chain performance. Due to the increasing trend of using structural equation modeling and its power in testing hypotheses, the designed model was tested using partial least squares approach. The designed model constructs include four dimensions: "Supply Chain Management Strategy", "Corporate Social Performance", "Corporate Economic Performance" and "Corporate Environmental Performance" and the results show that "Supply Chain Management Strategy" on "Performance Dimensions" Corporate Social Performance, Corporate Economic Performance, and Corporate Environmental Performance have a positive and significant effect, and the dimensions of "Corporate Social Performance" and "Corporate Environmental Performance" have a positive and significant effect on "Corporate Economic Performance".
