Abstract:
Although Supply Chain Analytics (SCA) has advanced, human factors are still not
considered as important and are often overlooked and undervalued in several aspects of
supply chain management. This research examines the significance of human
(employee) motivational factors in achieving sustainable SCA in firms. Data was
collected from 277 supply chain professionals in selected firms through a survey
questionnaire. The proposed research model with the hypothesis was examined using
Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). The study findings reveal that employee
knowledge of computer interaction affects motivation for SCA. Furthermore, firms'
activities that foster employees' knowledge sharing and subjective wellbeing positively
affect the motivation for SCA.
Similarly, employee working environment has a relationship with motivation for SCA.
However, employee silence has a negative effect on motivation for SCA. This study has
very positive implications for the implementation and sustainability of SCA for firms.
Detailed theoretical contributions and managerial implications were discussed.
