Sažetak
In this study an attempt has been made to solve a problematic
phenomenon regarding how a decentralised environment mediates
the effect on supply chain performance (SCP) – by taking various
dimensions of knowledge management (KM) – specifically in the dairy
sector of Lahore, Pakistan. This study also explores the relationship
between KM practices and SCP in the presence of a general system
theory; the theory claims that every system is has sub-parts, and
every sub-part is surrounded by other sub-parts. Decentralisation
has a mediating role which influences the relationship between KM
practices and SCP in the dairy sector of Pakistan. A self-administered
questionnaire was developed, and data were collected through a
random sampling of 355 supply chain members of different dairy
organisations in central Punjab. The data was analysed by AMOS
software and through structure equation modelling (SEM). The
underlying study reveals that the hypothesis is accepted, that
decentralisation mediates the relationship between KM practices
and SCP at a 1% level of significance; it also reveals that KM practices
(with the exceptions of knowledge creation and knowledge sharing)
have a direct relationship with SCP. Meanwhile, statistical analysis
also indicates that KM practices (with the exception of knowledge
creation) have a significant positive relationship with decentralisation
at the 1% significance level.
