Green Intellectual Capital and Green Supply Chain Performance: Does Big Data Analytics Capabilities matter?

Abstract

Abstract The current study aimed to identify the impact of the components of green intellectual capital (green human capital, green structural capital and green relational capital) on green supply chain performance in the manufacturing sector in Jordan as well as the moderating role of big data analytics capabilities. Structural equation modelling was used through the Smart-PLS program on a sample of 438 participants. The results showed that each component of the green intellectual capital and big data analytics explains 71.1% of the variance in green supply chain performance and that all components of green intellectual capital have a statistically significant impact on green supply chain performance. The results also revealed that the relationship between green relational capital and green supply chain performance is moderated through big data analytics capabilities. In general, this study made a theoretical and managerial contribution to the supply chain literature.
