The study examines the mediating role of supply chain transparency in the impact of blockchain (BZ) and Internet of Things (IoT) usage on business performance indicators. It also examines the impact of the use of the IoT and blockchain on SCT and the impact of SCT on the performance indicators of businesses. The research data were collected from 29 associations affiliated with the Federation of Turkish Food and Beverage Industry Associations and from 392 managers in the food and beverage sector businesses that are members of these associations. Data were tested with SPSS 20 and SmartPLS 3 programs. As a result, it has been determined that using blockchain and IoT technologies affects SCT and performance indicators of businesses with the mediation effect of SCT.

Tedarik Zinciri Şeffaflığının, Nesnelerin İnterneti ve Blokzincir Kullanımları Üzerindeki Aracı Etkisinin Performans Göstergeleri Üzerindeki Etkisi Açısından İncelenmesi

Öz

Çalışmanın amacı, blok zinciri (BZ) ve nesnelerin interneti (IoT) kullanımının işletmelerin performans göstergeleri üzerindeki etkisinde tedarik zinciri şeffaflığının aracılık rolünü incelemektir. Ayrıca IoT ve BZ kullanımının tedarik zinciri şeffaflığı ve tedarik zinciri şeffaflığının işletmelerin performans göstergeleri üzerindeki etkileri incelenmektedir. Araştırmanın verileri Türkiye Gıda ve İçecek Sanayii Dernekleri Federasyonuna bağlı olan 29 dernek ve bu derneklere üye olan gıda ve içecek sektörü işletmelerinde 392 yöneticiden anket yöntemi kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Veriler SPSS 20 ve SmartPLS 3 programlarıyla test edilmiştir. Sonuç olarak; blok zinciri ve nesnelerin interneti teknolojileri kullanımlarının tedarik zinciri şeffaflığını ve tedarik zinciri şeffaflığı aracı etkisiyle işletmelerin performans göstergelerini etkilediği saptanmıştır.
