Abstract

This study draws on the dynamic capability theory complemented by the resource-based view to examine how technological capability drives supply chain value creation via circular economy practices and when this effect is enhanced by organizational climate. We test our model using survey data from 310 manufacturing SMEs in Ghana. The results demonstrated that circular economy practices fully mediate the relationship between technological capability and supply chain value creation. Also, organizational climate moderates the indirect relationship between technological capabilities and supply chain value creation through circular economy practices. The findings offer key theoretical and managerial implications for scholars and practitioners to enhance value creation.
