STRATEJİK KAYNAK KULLANIMININ FİRMA PERFORMANSI ÜZERİNDEKİ ETKİSİNDE TEDARİK ZİNCİRİ ÇEVİKLİĞİNİN ARACI ROLÜ

Bu çalışmada stratejik kaynak kullanımının tedarik zinciri çevikliği ve firma performansı üzerindeki etkisi incelenmiştir. Ayrıca araştırma kapsamında tedarik zinciri çevikliğinin firma performansı üzerindeki etkisi analiz edilmiştir. Bu amaçla Türkiye’nin ilk 1000 ihracatçı firması arasından 115 firmadan anket tekniği ile veri toplanmıştır. Araştırmada öncelikle, kullanılan ölçeklerin yapı geçerliği ve güvenilirliğini test etmek amacıyla keşfedici ve doğrulayıcı faktör analizleri ile güvenilirlik analizi yapılmıştır. Araştırma hipotezlerini test etmek amacıyla 115 firmadan elde edilen veriler yapısal eşitlik modeli ile analiz edilmiştir. Yapılan analizler sonucunda stratejik kaynak kullanımının tedarik zinciri çevikliği ve firma performansını pozitif yönde anlamlı olarak etkilediği bulgusuna ulaşılmıştır. Tedarik zinciri çevikliğinin de firma performansı pozitif yönde anlamlı olarak etkilediği tespit edilmiştir. Çalışma kapsamında ayrıca stratejik kaynak kullanımının firma performansı üzerindeki etkisinde tedarik zinciri çevikliğinin aracılık rolü araştırılmıştır. Aracılık testi neticesinde tedarik zinciri çevikliğinin kısmi aracılık rolü olduğu bulgusuna ulaşılmıştır.

THE MEDIATING ROLE OF SUPPLY CHAIN AGILITY IN THE EFFECT OF STRATEGIC RESOURCE USAGE ON THE COMPANY PERFORMANCE

In this study, the effects of strategic resource utilization on supply chain agility and firm performance were examined. In addition, the impact of supply chain agility on firm performance was analyzed. For this purpose, the data was collected from 115 companies among Turkey's top 1000 exporters with survey technique. Initially, exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis and reliability analysis were conducted to test the construction validity and reliability of the scales used. To test the research hypotheses, the data obtained from 115 companies were analyzed by the structural equation model. As a result of the analyzes, it was found that the use of strategic resource significantly affected the supply chain agility and firm performance. Supply chain agility was also found to have a significant effect on firm performance. The study also explored the role of supply chain agility as a mediator in the impact of strategic resource utilization on firm performance. As a result of the mediation test, it was found that supply chain agility has a partial mediation role.
