From AI Adoption to Resilient Supply Chains: The Roles of Supplier Risk Sensing and Cybersecurity Readiness in Sustainable Supply Chain Performance in Ghana

Abstract This study examined how artificial intelligence adoption contributes to sustainable supply chain performance through supplier risk sensing and supply chain resilience, while considering the moderating role of cybersecurity readiness. A quantitative explanatory cross-sectional design was adopted. The data from respondents, representing 286 procurement, logistics, operations, risk-management and information-technology professionals from manufacturing, agro-processing, retail, pharmaceutical and logistics firms in Ghana was analysed. Data were modelled using partial least squares structural equation modelling with 5,000 bootstrap samples. The findings showed that artificial intelligence adoption had a significant positive effect on supplier risk sensing. Supplier risk sensing also improved supply chain resilience, while resilience positively influenced sustainable supply chain performance. Artificial intelligence retained a smaller direct effect on sustainable performance, indicating partial mediation. The sequential indirect relationship from artificial intelligence adoption through supplier risk sensing and resilience to sustainable supply chain performance was statistically significant. Cybersecurity readiness strengthened the relationship between artificial intelligence adoption and supplier risk sensing, showing that firms gain more value from AI-supported analytics when digital systems, data and third-party connections are adequately protected. The study concludes that AI adoption alone does not create sustainable and resilient supply chains. Firms must develop the organisational ability to interpret supplier risk signals, respond to disruptions and secure the digital infrastructure supporting supply chain decisions.
