Journal of Supply Chain Management Systems https://www.i-scholar.in/index.php/jscms <div id="i-scholarabout">The Journal of Supply Chain Management Systems" (JSCMS) tends to develop, promote, coordinate and disseminate the original developments and practices of supply chain management systems. The journal is effectively positioned as a multi-disciplinary journal, focusing on a particular set of study objects rather than a specific discipline. Articles submitted should have a significant impact on SCM theory and practice. The Journal ensures that high quality research is collected and disseminated widely to both academics and practitioners, and provides a forum for debate. It covers all subjects relating to the SCM.</div> en-US publishing@publishingindia.com (Dr. Rameshwar Dubey) info@publishingindia.com (Manager, Publishing India Group) Sat, 03 Sep 2022 09:55:16 +0000 OJS 2.4.2.0 http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss 60 Examining the Effect of Working and Living Conditions Sustainability Pillar on Certificate Achievement: The Case of Coffee Exporting Sector in Ethiopia https://www.i-scholar.in/index.php/jscms/article/view/213457 The objective of the study is to investigate the possible barriers to sustainable complying with the control points of working and living conditions under UTZ VSS and its impact on certificate achievement of the coffee exporters in a group of the coffee exporter and commercial farms of coffee exporters in southwestern Ethiopia. The researchers used descriptive statistics and inferential statistics such as measurement and structural models. The result shows that the internal management system, government authority, and certification scheme (CSs) monitoring system negatively affect working and living condition criteria compliances which in return lead to certification delay and extra cost for closing the non-conformities, in general, it affects the certificate Achievement of the coffee exporters, as a result, they can not deliver their product to the global market within the time frame. Internal management systems, government authority and CSs monitoring systems are important determinants and have a positive significant relationship with certificate achievement.

The analysis is based on the assumptions that the global economy is facing the possibility of decoupling of many trade connections and this trend favours deglobalization processes have long been promoted by populism, nationalism, and economic protectionism. It is concluded that global supply, production, and value chains although being economically efficient, are no longer any more secure under national protectionist policies and therefore, the relocation of production processes is mainly due to the increase in the level of income and wages of the developing countries that are the destination, and which reduce the advantages to relocate.

A two-phased investigation was carried out. Phase 1 involved reviewing the latest relevant literature; and in Phase 2, questionnaires were administered to elicit responses from supply chain managers and executives. The sample of 48 respondents was developed using the judgement sampling and the snowball approach, with a response rate of 48 per cent. In total, 16 supply chain recovery challenges were used to develop the instrument. To examine the obtained data, descriptive statistics and a Kruskal–Wallis test were used; for factors maintained at or below 0.05, a family-wise Bonferroni adjustment (Mann–Whitney U test) was used. Most of the mentioned recovery challenges are found to be significant by the industry experts (supply chain managers and executives). However, there exist disparities in the ranking of perceived importance of one supply chain recovery challenge among different industries. This study could be a basis for future studies and would help businesses to focus on recovery priority areas post- COVID-19 era. Moreover, the study opens an avenue for further research in this field to come up with plans to bolster the recovery from specific disruptive challenges to ensure supply chain resilience.
