Purpose – The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact that the implementation of blockchain technology has on supply chain management by analysing the mediating effects of supply chain coordination, transparency, inter-organisational systems, and management capabilities. Design/methodology/approach – The primary data were obtained by the distribution of a self-administered questionnaire, and the replies were evaluated using a Likert scale with five points. This study collected 300 valid questionnaires from December 2023 to March 2024. SPSS was used for data analysis, and PLS-SEM was used for structural equation modeling analysis. Findings – Specifically, the findings of this research point to the existence of a statistically significant positive association between blockchain adoption (BCA), supply chain management capabilities (SCMC), inter-organisational systems (IOS), and supply chain performance (SCP). Mediation analysis highlights the critical role of supply chain coordination (SCC) and transparency (SCT) in enhancing SCP through BCA. Originality/value -- This research makes a significant contribution to the body of knowledge concerning the implications of blockchain technology for supply chain management, offering practical implications for industry stakeholders and policymakers.
