Investigating the Supply Chain Performance of Agribusiness Firms from the IT Capability and Government Support Perspectives

The purpose of this study is to examine the influence of IT capability, such as IT workforce and IT infrastructure, on supply chain performance of agribusiness firms. Also, the study investigates what moderating effect, if any, government support has on the supply chain performance of firms in this industry. With the help of RBV, DCV, and existing literature, a theoretical model has been developed, which later was validated using the PLS-SEM technique with consideration of 312 respondents who are employed in different hierarchies at agribusiness firms. The study finds that IT capability has a significant impact on supply chain performance of agribusiness firms. Also, the study confirmed that government support has a positive and significant impact for improving their supply chain performance.
