A multigroup analysis of factors influencing supply chain sustainability
Keywords:
Supplier-Purchase Department relationship, Purchase Department Performance, Business performance, supply chain sustainability.Abstract
This study examined the impact of business performance on supply chain sustainability in Bangkok, Thailand's hospitality industry. With the help of the Structural Equation Model, this study used measurement invariance of composite model (MICOM) and Multi Group analysis to determine the relationship between the independent and dependent variables across different genders. According to the findings, females believed that the relationship between the supplier and the purchasing department had a significant impact on business performance. They also believed that the relationship between the supplier and the purchasing department had a significant impact on supply chain sustainability, which is supported by the results of the entire set of data, which included both male and female respondents. Both genders are convinced that business performance has a significant impact on supply chain sustainability in Bangkok’s hospitality sector. Based on the results of this study, the relationship between the buyer and the supplier needs to be strengthened for the supply chain to be stable.
