Sustainable Supply Chain Management, Logistics Capacity, Firm Performance, Structural Equation ModelAbstract
This study aims to examine the effect of sustainable supply chain management on firm performance mediated by logistics capacity; the subjects of this study were the actors of the China's Auto Manufacturing Industry. This type of research is quantitative research with descriptive research and causal research using questionnaires distributed directly or indirectly to the Auto Manufacturing Industry actors as many as 382 respondents. Moreover, Structural Equation Model (SEM) Software was used for data analysis. The results of the study found that sustainable supply chain management affects logistics capacity, firm performance was also observed to be influenced by sustainable supply chain management and logistics capacity while firm performance was also found to be affected by sustainable supply chain management through the mediating effect of logistics capacity. The significant implication of this study is for managers to enhance logistics capacity in the process of implementing sustainability supply chain to improve firm performance, while providing recommendations to the government and automobile Manufacturers in conducting the assistance process to Auto Manufacturing MSMEs.
