Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to empirically analyze the influence of supply chain agility and flexibility on supply chain robustness and logistics performance, addressing a research gap in the context of dynamic business environments. Research design, data and methodology: The study examines causal relationships between supply chain agility, flexibility, robustness, and logistics performance among businesses in South Korea. Data were collected through a survey of 300 workers in supply chain-related departments. A structural equation model was employed for hypothesis testing. Results: The empirical analysis shows that supply chain agility and flexibility positively and significantly influence supply chain robustness, which in turn has a significant positive impact on logistics performance. Conclusions: This study contributes by providing empirical evidence on the importance of supply chain agility, flexibility, and robustness in enhancing logistics performance. The findings suggest prioritizing the development of these capabilities for competitive advantage. Further research on the interrelationships between various supply chain capabilities and their impact on performance outcomes is highlighted.
