The aim of the study is to determine the mediating role of supply chain risk management in the impact of supply chain integration and digitalization on performance. For this, a structural model was created. The relationships in the structural model were analyzed with the data obtained from 246 production enterprises operating in Gaziantep Organized Industrial Zones. The Structural Equation Model method was used to determine the relationships in the model. As a result of the analysis, it was determined that buyer-supplier integration, digitalization and buyer-supplier risk management factors have a significant effect on business performance. In addition, it has been determined that buyer-supplier integration and digitalization have a significant effect on buyer-supplier risk management. In the study, mediator effects were investigated. Accordingly, buyer-supplier risk management has a partial mediation effect on the effect of buyer-supplier integration and digitalization on business performance. The results support the structural model. It can be stated that the results obtained can make various contributions to the literature, businesses and managers.

TEDARİK ZİNCİRİ ENTEGRASYONU VE DİJİTALLEŞMENİN PERFORMANSA ETKİSİ: ALICI-TEDARİKÇİ RİSK YÖNETİMİNİN ARACILIK ROLÜ

Öz

Çalışmanın amacı, tedarik zinciri entegrasyonu ve dijitalleşmenin performansa etkisinde tedarik zinciri risk yönetiminin aracı rolünü belirlemektir. Bunun için yapısal bir model oluşturulmuştur. Yapısal modelde yer alan ilişkiler, Gaziantep Organize Sanayi Bölgelerinde faaliyet gösteren 246 üretim işletmesinden elde edilen veriler ile analiz edilmiştir. Modelde yer alan ilişkilerin belirlenmesinde Yapısal Eşitlik Modeli yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Analiz sonucunda, alıcı-tedarikçi entegrasyonu, dijitalleşme ve alıcı-tedarikçi risk yönetimi faktörlerinin işletme performansı üzerinde anlamlı bir etkiye sahip olduğu belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca, alıcı-tedarikçi entegrasyonu ve dijitalleşmenin, alıcı-tedarikçi risk yönetimi üzerinde anlamlı etkisi olduğu belirlenmiştir. Çalışmada, aracı etkilerde araştırılmıştır. Buna göre, alıcı-tedarikçi entegrasyonu ve dijitalleşmenin işletme performansına etkisinde alıcı-tedarikçi risk yönetiminin kısmi aracılık etkisi bulunmaktadır. Sonuçlar, yapısal modeli desteklemektedir. Elde edilen sonuçların literatüre, işletmelere ve yöneticilere çeşitli katkılar sağlayabileceği ifade edilebilir.
