چکیده

هدف از این تحقیق، بررسی روابط موجود بین اقدامات و عملکرد SCQM و نوآوری است. این مدل از طریق تحلیل مسیر با استفاده از داده های مقطعی صنعت خودرو ایران طراحی و تست شده است . با استفاده از یک روش کمی، 280 نفر از 500 مدیر ارشد و اجرایی در صنعت خودرو ایران در این نظرسنجی شرکت کرده و آن را تکمیل نمودند. از طریق مدل سازی معادلات ساختاری (SEM) برای بررسی فرضیه های پژوهش و مدل مفروض استفاده شد. این یافته ها اثر مثبت رویه های مدیریت کیفیت زنجیره تامین بر نوآوری و عملکرد سازمانی را پوشش میدهند.نتایج حاصل از آنالیز نشان می دهد که نوآوری تا حدی بر رابطه بین رویه های مدیریت کیفیت زنجیره تامین و عملکرد سازمانی تاثیر میگذارد. همچنین این مطالعه تاثیرات های نظری و تجربی را در پی داشته است. نتایج این پژوهش مدیران را قادر می سازد به ارزیابی نقاط قوت و ضعف سازمان خود و در نتیجه توسعه استراتژی های مناسب در جهت بهبود عملکرد سازمانی خود بپردازند .

چکیده [English]

 
The aim of this study is to examine the relationships between SCQM practices, performance and innovation. A conceptual model is developed and tested through path analysis using the cross-section data collected from the automotive industry in Iran. Using a quantitative methodology, 280 of 500 senior and executive managers in the automotive industry in Iran participated and completed the survey. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was used for data reduction of the entire sample (to purify the scale) and to ascertain whether the survey questions were loaded on their respective dimensions (this was refined and confirmed later by CFA). Besides that, the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was used to examine the research hypotheses and hypothesized model. The findings support the positive effect of the supply chain quality management practices on innovation  and organizational performance. In addition, the results of the analysis also suggest that innovation partially mediates the relationship between supply chain quality management practices and organizational performance. Moreover, this study makes several theoretical and empirical contributions and provides further insights on SCQM practices. Managerial implications are discussed, as well as several potential recommendations for future studies are identified and a conclusion is drawn. The outcomes of this research would enable managers to assess the strengths and weaknesses of their organizations and thus develop appropriate strategies to improve their organizational performance.
