Abstract
Based on the theory of organizational learning, supply chain practice view, and stakeholder theory, this paper presents an empirical analysis of the influence of learning orientation on corporate sustainability through supply chain relationships and supply chain agility. A learning orientation strengthens supply chain practices, potentially extending its impact beyond mere business transactions to enhance sustainability through knowledge transfer. Empirical results reveal the relationships among the constructs and serial mediation of supply chain relationship and supply chain agility. The empirical data were collected from organizations in the United Arab Emirates. The structural equation modeling approach is applied to validate the models in the study. Mediation analysis was performed to better understand the organizational and supply chain phenomenon. In addition, this study provides empirical support for serial mediation, with supply chain relationships and supply chain agility mediating the relationship between learning orientation and corporate sustainability. The study draws managers' attention to the importance of learning orientation as well as supply chain relationship and supply chain agility post-COVID-19. The findings may guide firms toward designing their sustainable supply chain strategies under organizational learning. This paper contributes to the sustainable supply chain management literature.Description
