Abstract: In an era marked by frequent disruptions and increasing volatility, building resilient supply chains has become a strategic imperative. Grounded in Dynamic Capabilities Theory (DCT) and Contingency Theory (CT), the research explores how BCT functions as a digital enabler for organizations to adapt, respond, and recover effectively in dynamic market environments. This study examines the role of blockchain technology (BCT) in enhancing supply chain resilience (SCR), particularly through the mediating influence of supply chain integration (SCI) and the moderating role of environmental dynamism (ED). Utilizing Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) on data collected through structured questionnaires, the results demonstrate that BCT has a significant positive effect on both SCI and SCR. Moreover, SCI mediates the relationship between BCT and SCR, while ED strengthens the impact of BCT on SCI. The findings contribute to the literature on Industry 4.0 technologies and digital transformation by highlighting how BCT, when strategically integrated, can foster not only resilience but also collaboration, visibility, and sustainability across the supply chain. The study offers practical implications for managers seeking to invest in smart manufacturing and IT advancement to develop integrated, agile, and sustainable supply chain systems.
