Financial performance in Industry 4.0 agile supply chains: evidence from manufacturing companies Phanitha Kalyani Gangaraju, Rohit Raj, Vimal Kumar, N.S.B. Akhil, Tanmoy De, et al. TQM Journal, 2025 PurposeThis study aims to examine the implementation of agile practices in Industry 4.0 to assess the financial performance measurements of manufacturing firms. It also investigates the relationship between supply chain performance and financial performance.Design/methodology/approachThe study is based on an experimental research design by collecting data from 329 responses from key officials of manufacturing firms. The analyses are carried out to explore this modern concept with the help of the SPSS program, which is used to conduct a confirmatory factor and reliability analysis and Smart-partial least square (PLS) version 4.0 with structural equation modeling.FindingsThis research demonstrates the positive effect agile supply chain strategies in Industry 4.0 may have on manufacturing companies' financial performance as a whole. Everything throughout the supply chain in Industry 4.0, from the manufacturers to the end users, is taken into account as a potential performance booster. The values obtained from the model's study show that it is both dependable and effective, surpassing the threshold for such claims. The research is supported by factors like customer involvement (CUS), continuous improvement (CI), integration (INT), modularity (MOD), management style (MS) and supplier involvement (SI) but is undermined by factors including postponement (PPT).Research limitations/implicationsAccording to the findings of the study, Industry 4.0 firms' financial performance and overall competitiveness are significantly improved when their supply chains are more agile. A more agile supply chain helps businesses to more rapidly adapt to shifts in consumer demand, shorten the amount of time it takes to produce a product, enhance product quality and boost customer happiness. As a consequence of this, there will be an increase in revenue, an improvement in profitability and continued sustainable growth.Originality/valueThere are literary works available on agile practices in various fields, but the current study outlines the need to understand how supply chains perform financially under the mediating effect of agile supply chains in Industry 4.0 which contribute most to the organization's success. The study will aid companies in understanding how agile practices will further the overall performance of the organization financially.

The effect of job satisfaction and moonlighting intentions with mediating and moderating effects of commitment and HR practices an empirical study K. D. V. Prasad, Sripathi Kalavakolanu, Tanmoy De, V. K. Satyaprasad Humanities and Social Sciences Communications, 2024 Moonlighting as a practice, the limelight was gained during the COVID-19 pandemic due to remote work involving flexible work, which saved employees’ commuting time to the office and has become a potential source of income for individuals seeking other jobs. The authors examined the phenomenon of moonlighting by assessing the relationships between job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and moonlighting intentions. The authors also examined the mediating effects of employee organizational commitment and economic intentions and the moderating role of human resource practices on the relationship between job satisfaction and moonlighting intentions. The data were gathered for five reflective constructs of this empirical study—job satisfaction, organizational commitment, human resources practices, economic intentions, and moonlighting intentions—by surveying IT-enabled industry employees in Hyderabad. The data from 311 valid responses were subjected to structural equation modeling analysis using IBM AMOS version 28. The model-fit indices from SEM analysis indicate excellent model fit. The structural model from SEM analysis reveals that 50% of the variance in moonlighting is accounted for by job satisfaction and organizational commitment. The factor of job satisfaction is statistically significant and influences the moonlighting intentions of employees in IT-enabled industries. Job satisfaction has a positive impact on organizational commitment, and when organizational commitment increases, moonlighting intentions decrease. Organizational commitment partially mediates moonlighting intentions through job satisfaction. The study also assessed the moderating role of human resource practices on the relationship between job satisfaction and moonlighting intentions. The moderation analysis results reveal statistically significant and positive moderating effects of human resource practices on intentions to moonlight through job satisfaction. The slope analysis indicated that human resource practices strengthen the positive relationship between job satisfaction and moonlighting.
Exploring the synergistic effects of circular economy, Industry 4.0 technology, and green human resource management practices on sustainable performance: Empirical evidence from Indian companies Tanmoy De, Pratima Verma, Phanitha Kalyani Gangaraju, Akhil Nibhanupudi Siva Bhaskar, Seema Mahlawat, et al. Business Strategy and Development, 2024 This study investigates the synergistic effects of circular economy (CE) practices, Industry 4.0 technology, and green human resource management (HRM) practices on sustainability and performance in Indian companies. CE focuses on resource efficiency, waste minimization, and material recyclability. Industry 4.0 incorporates modern digital technologies into manufacturing, resulting in smart factories that are more efficient and flexible. Green HRM practices include implementing human resource rules that promote environmental sustainability. Using structural equation modeling (SEM) on data from 213 respondents across various Indian firms, our research reveals several novel insights, such as CE practices significantly enhancing sustainability, demonstrating their critical role in minimizing waste and improving resource management; moderating the role of Industry 4.0: Industry 4.0 technology moderates the relationship between CE practices and sustainability, and green HRM practices positively affect CE practices and sustainable performance. Moreover, the study's uniqueness stems from its comprehensive approach, which reveals that combining these three elements CE practices, Industry 4.0 technology, and green HRM creates a powerful synergy that significantly improves both sustainability efforts and overall company performance, providing actionable insights for business looking to implement more effective and integrated sustainability strategies. These findings offer a valuable roadmap for companies aiming to achieve more impactful and cohesive sustainability initiatives.
Adoption of human resource sourcing strategies for managing supply chain performance during COVID-19 crisis: evidence from manufacturing companies N.S.B Akhil, Vimal Kumar, Rohit Raj, Tanmoy De, Phanitha Kalyani Gangaraju International Journal of Productivity and Performance Management, 2024 PurposeEven the greatest developed countries have capitulated to the destructions imposed on the global supply systems, as the COVID-19 pandemic has revealed. The purpose of this study is to explore human resource sourcing strategies for managing supply chain performance during the COVID-19 outbreak. There are six human resource sourcing strategies such as outsourcing, near sourcing, integration, the requirement of suppliers, joint ventures and virtual enterprise that are considered to measure supply chain performance.Design/methodology/approachBased on collecting data from the potential respondents of Indian manufacturing companies, the elevation of human resource sourcing strategies to supply chain performance is measured considering the multiple regression analysis techniques.FindingsThe results of the study revealed that four of the six hypotheses have a significant and positive relationship with supply chain performance during the COVID-19 outbreak while two hypotheses are partially supported that lent good support to this study.Research limitations/implicationsIn this critical situation, this study will enable managers and practitioners to support the business in giving customers the best services on time.Originality/valueThe novelty of this study is to identify the key human resource sourcing strategies by using multiple regression analysis methods, considering the case of Indian manufacturing companies to measure their supply chain performance during the COVID-19 outbreak era.
