Abstrakt
Wstęp: Obszar łańcucha dostaw skupił się na rozwoju efektywnej relacji sprzedający-kupujący, co umożliwia lepsze rozwój zbalansowany w obszarze socjalnym. Poprzednie badania skupiały się na analizie zależności pomiędzy odpowiedzialnym przywództwem a wpływem na środowisko. Celem pracy jest przetestowanie wpływu zarządzania relacjami z dostawcami na rozwój zbalansowany w obszarze socjalnym przy umiarowym wpływie zrównoważonego przywództwa. Metody: Celem pracy jest określenie roli moderatora zrównoważonego przywództwa pomiędzy relacjami sprzedającykupujący oraz poprawą postępowania w obszarze socjalnym. Dane empiryczne zostały zebrane wśród 224 osób z różnych przedsiębiorstw. Do testowania hipotez zastosowania modelowanie równań strukturalnych PLS-SEM (partrial least squares). Wyniki: Uzyskane wyniki wskazują, że cztery aspekty zrównoważonego przywództwa wspomagają postępowania w obszarze socjalnym, a mianowicie: wychodzenie poza dbałość tylko o własne interesy, entuzjazm w podejściu do innych, skupienie się na coachingu i instruktażu oraz zauważanie nowych idei w obszarze zrównoważonego rozwoju. Wnioski: Praca dostarcza początkowych danych do zrozumienia roli przywództwa zrównoważonego i jego wpływ na socjalną strefę działalności. Zaprezentowano potencjalne implikacje wdrożenia w praktyce rozwoju zrównoważone, które jej wymagają dodatkowej analizy. Po pierwsze, praca zwiększa wiedzę jak zrównoważone przywództwa wpływa na relacje w obrębie firmy. Po drugie, daje praktyczne wyjaśnienie, że relacje w obrębie firmy są raczej zależne aniżeli o charakterze dominującym. Dlatego też zaleceniem dla kierownictwa jest ciągłe poznawanie i zwiększanie umiejętności miękkich oraz zaadaptowanie najlepszych praktyk dla dalszego rozwoju zrównoważonego. (abstrakt oryginalny)

Background: The field of the supply chain have narrowly focused upon the development of effecting buyer-supplier relationship to support social sustainability. Previously studies have analyzed the relationship between responsible leadership and environmental performance. This paper aims to test the impact of supplier relationship management on social performance under the moderating influence of sustainable leadership. Methods: The purpose of this study is to examine the moderation role of sustainable leadership between buyer-supplier relationships and social performance improvements. Empirical data is collected from 224 respondents from different manufacturers. Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) has been used for hypotheses testing. Results: The findings indicate that those four aspects of sustainable leadership- go beyond self-interest, talk enthusiastically, focuses on coaching and teaching, and see novel ideas on sustainability issues individually enhance the firm social performance. Conclusions: This study provides a starting point for understanding the sustainable leader's role and its impact on social performance outcomes. The study has some potential implications for the implementation of sustainability-related practices that need to be acknowledged. First, the findings enrich understanding of how sustainable leader (SL) affects the inter-firm relationship. Second, the research also gives a practical explanation that inter-firm relationships are contingent rather than pervasive. Thus, managers are advised to continuously explore best approaches that improve managers' behavioral skills and adopt best practices to enhance sustainability performance. (original abstract)
