Abstract


Today, the digital world is seeing great technological advancements. Although block chain appears to be an emerging trend, it is still in its early stages in Egypt, particularly in the maritime supply chain. The purpose of this study is to investigate the adoption of block chain as a disruptive technology in sustainable supply chain performance by taking sustainable development goals (SDGs) as a moderator and sustainable competitive advantage as a mediator. An online survey was utilized as a technique to gather data in a quantitative manner. A total of 312 participants from the Egyptian maritime transport industry participated through convenience sampling. Using SPSS20.0, the survey is analyzed using regression analysis. Results showed a significant impact of the adoption of blockchain technology (BCT) on the sustainable supply chain performance (SSCP) through the partial mediation of the Sustainable competitive Advantage (SCA), furthermore a positive moderation role of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) of the UN was found catalyzing the relationship. The study contributes to increasing literature on Block chain technology in general, and fills a gap on the Egyptian maritime context in particular. Finally, it provides decision makers at maritime with useful guidelines on how to optimally promote Block chain applications among employees.
