Development and Practitioner-Based Assessment of a Multi-Phase Taxonomy of Supply Chain Resilience Indicators: A Contingency-Based Perspective

Background: Supply chain resilience (SCRes) helps firms manage increasingly frequent and severe disruptions, yet its indicators remain fragmented across disruption phases and industrial contexts. Methods: This study presents a practitioner-based assessment of a multi-phase, contingency-based taxonomy of SCRes indicators. An umbrella review identified 41 indicators across pre-disruption, during-disruption, and post-disruption phases. Following conceptual refinement, six were excluded, leaving 35 indicators. Data were collected from 84 supply chain professionals in Morocco using a 10-point importance scale. Responses were analyzed using descriptive statistics, the proportion of ratings from 7 to 10, Cronbach’s alpha, and one-way ANOVA. Results: Cronbach’s alpha was 0.88, 0.91, and 0.88 across the three phases. Perceived importance differed significantly across sectors, F(3, 80) = 3.17, p = 0.029, η2 = 0.106. No significant difference emerged between junior and senior respondents, F(1, 82) = 0.60, p = 0.439, η2 = 0.007. Conclusions: The findings suggest sectoral differences in overall perceived importance but do not identify specific sector pairs or establish construct or predictive validity.
