Abstract

This quantitative study examines the correlation between suppliers’ characteristics (resilience) and supply chain disruption process. The dimensions of resilience include; persistence, agility and adaptability while supply chain disruption contains frequency and cost. Through deductive reasoning in this cross-sectional research design the total of 31 employees working in the diary SMEs in Pakistan were approached using purposive, convenience, referral and networking approach. The self-administered survey questionnaire developed on 5-points Likert scale was emailed to respondents. Results confirmed that adaptability’s magnitude of the coefficient of correlation with frequency as well as cost is strong and positive while persistence has positive moderate correlation with both components of disruption; cost and frequency. The correlation of adaptability and persistence with supply chain disruption is statistically significant. Furthermore, regression analysis confirmed that both; persistence and adaptability have significant impact of the supply chain disruption. Agility has positive weak moderate magnitude while the correlation is insignificant. Furthermore, agility have no significant impact on the supply chain disruption process.
