The Mediating Role of Cyber Resilience in the Impact of Innovation Capabilities on Supply Chain Performance: Empirical Evidence from the UAE Petroleum Industry

The research examines the impact of innovation capabilities on supply chain performance with the mediating role of cyber resilience to provide empirical evidence from the petroleum industry in the UAE. Priority to explore supply chain performance with the mediation of cyber resilience stimulated this research to find empirical results that will contribute to the literature concerning the petroleum industry. A descriptive, exploratory, causal and analytical approach using quantitative research technique was used. A sample of 277 respondents was used for data analysis using regression ANOVA. The results show a significant positive impact of innovation capabilities on supply chain performance and an indirect effect of cyber resilience identified as a positive and significant impact on supply chain performance. The model identified in the research, which includes cyber resilience, innovation capabilities, and supply chain performance, is considered a limitation, so the authors need to consider other factors in further research. Industrialists may need to adopt technological strategies (cyber resilience and Innovation capabilities) that can enhance recovery rates, reduce costs, and ensure global supply chain security and extensive resources.
