%X Blockchain technology has emerged as a
transformative tool in the supply chain industry, offering enhanced
transparency, efficiency, and performance. This study examines the direct and
indirect effects of blockchain technology adoption (UTBC) on Export Performance
(EXPE) and Supply Chain Management Performance (SMFP), with Supply Chain
Efficiency (SCEF) as a mediating variable. Using data collected from 300 supply
chain professionals through a structured survey, a Partial Least Squares
Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) approach was employed to validate the
measurement model and test the structural hypotheses. The results indicate that
blockchain adoption significantly enhances supply chain efficiency and user
experience, which in turn positively impacts performance outcomes. However,
direct effects of blockchain experience on performance were found to be
non-significant, emphasizing the importance of mediation through operational
efficiency. This study contributes to the growing literature on blockchain
technology by highlighting its critical role in optimizing supply chain
processes and export outcomes. The findings provide actionable insights for
practitioners aiming to leverage blockchain for strategic supply chain
improvement.
