Abstract: Nowadays, the emphasis on sustainable performance highlights the necessity for resilience and innovation in tackling environmental and economic concerns within supply chain operations. Therefore, this study investigates the impact of six supply chain management practices (SCMPs) on organizational performance (OP) and environmental sustainability performance (ESP), along with the moderating role of supply chain dynamism. This research was conducted within medium and large export manufacturing firms in Jordan’s Garment, Textile, and Leather (GTL) sector, a pivotal export industry critical to the country’s economy. Data were gathered from 204 managers, employing an online self-administered questionnaire, using a quantitative research approach. The hypotheses were examined via structural equation modeling (SEM) through the SmartPLS software4. The findings reveal that ESP was significantly influenced by strategic supplier partnership and postponement. Additionally, the level of information sharing and internal lean practices were found to have a dual impact on both OP and ESP. Supply chain dynamism acted as a significant moderator only in the relationship between postponement and both OP and ESP. This study fills a significant gap in the GTL context in developing economies for export manufacturing firms that contribute to the current literature. What makes it original is its consideration of supply chain dynamism as a moderating variable and its context in an important sector for Jordan’s economy. In conclusion, the results present valuable implications for practitioners on developing custom SCMPs for sustainable and operational performance objectives in the dynamic supply chain context. Future studies should adopt probability sampling methods to improve the generalizability of the findings. Further, the findings should be confirmed by conducting a study on other exporting sectors or geographical areas to gain additional perspectives on the relationships between SCMPs, OP, and ESP.
