The impact of knowledge management in the green supply chain with the integration of human resources and digitization factors
Abstract. The outbreak of COVID-19 has accelerated the construction of flexible supply chains, and digitalization of the supply chain is considered as a powerful tool for this purpose. There is a necessity to do the researches regarding the position and implementation of digitalization in supply chain process. To replicate this call, this research purposes a theoretical impact procedure, supply chain digitalization, flexibility, and performance. The main goal of this research is to find an answer to the problem that knowledge management through human resources and digitization of resources has an impact on the green supply chain in the organization, so that a conceptual model of research can be presented in the field of agility and knowledge management. For this purpose, the digitization of the supply chain of electronic industries in Uzbekistan has been investigated during 2022-2023, and 23 companies active in the field of electronics were chosen as a statistical sample. By examining the components of agility, three variables of responsiveness, flexibility and adaptability were investigated as dimensions of agility. The results showed that the integration of human resource management has a significant effect on creating digitization variables including agility, flexibility, adaptability and responsiveness in a digital chain. In addition, human resource management has an impact on knowledge management. Also, the results show that there is a significant relationship between agility and knowledge management. In the following, by studying the background of the researches, a conceptual model is designed that shows how these elements are related.
