The study explores how novel information technology (NIT) affects sustainable supply chain performance in terms of economic, environmental, and social dimensions, with the mediation of IT alignment dimensions. The results show a positive impact of NIT on sustainable supply chain performance, with IT alignment playing a mediating role. This research highlights the significance of NIT and IT alignment in improving sustainable supply chain performance.
Purpose - This paper aims to explore how the novel information technology (NIT) [1] affects three dimensions of sustainable supply chain performance (economic performance, environmental performance and social performance) and how two dimensions of IT alignment (IT infrastructure alignment and IT human resources alignment) mediate the relationship between them. Design/methodology/approach - NIT is defined, the dimension of IT alignment is expanded, the theoretical hypotheses are proposed and are tested using survey data from 394 manufacturing enterprises using NIT in China. Findings - The results indicate that NIT plays a positive role in improving sustainable supply chain performance, and IT alignment mediates the impact of NIT on sustainable supply chain performance. Originality/value - This study highlights the impact of NIT on sustainable supply chain performance and demonstrates IT alignment as a mediator between them, it also provides a deeper understanding of how different dimensions of IT alignment affect sustainable supply chain performance
