Abstract

Organizations are embracing sustainable supply chain management practices (SSCMPs) and sustainable human resource management practices (SHRMPs) to achieve sustainable development goals (SDGs). However, little is known about how SSCMPs and SHRMPs influence knowledge sharing (KS) and relationship commitment (RC). It is also unknown how these factors influence sustainable supply chain performance (SSCP). To fill this void in the literature, this study has drawn a multidimensional framework based on the resource dependence theory (RDT) and natural resource-based view (NRBV) theory that provides a foundation for understanding the relationship between SSCMPs and SHRMPs on SSCP through KS and RC. Data from 490 respondents working in manufacturing firms in Pakistan were collected and employed to SPSS 25 and AMOS 24 for initial checks. Once cleaned, it is employed by SmartPLS to analyze using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The results reveal that SSCMPs and SHRMPs significantly enhance a firm’s knowledge sharing and improve relationship commitment, which in turn enhances SSCP. The results also suggest that KS mediates the relationship between SSCMPs and SSCP, SHRMPs, and SSCP. On the other hand, RC does not mediate the relationships significantly. Furthermore, to check the robustness of the results, a fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) was performed, which signifies the robustness of the results and the model. The paper presents the significant implications for the managers and policymakers as the results lead toward a better sustainability position and help the firms achieve SDGs.
