由于全球供应链对破坏性事件的敏感性增加，越来越多的研究人员和从业人员将供应链弹性（SCRE）置于其研究议程的首位。然而，这一领域的实证研究一直受到缺乏有效的衡量模型的影响。在此背景下，本研究借鉴动态能力理论，开发了一套供应链环境动态能力测量仪器。本研究先进行定性的实地研究，然后进行定量的调查。在定性的实地调查中，内容分析被用来解释各个维度，而在定量调查中，基于偏最小二乘（PLS）的结构方程模型（SEM）被用来分析收集到的数据。研究通过三轮数据收集和分析进行。研究结果表明，供应链设计环境是一个多维度、多层次的结构，包括三个主要维度：主动能力、反应能力和供应链设计质量。这三个主要层面通过十二个次级层面进一步运作。研究结果还证实，SCRE规模可能更好地预测供应链的运营脆弱性（OV）和供应链绩效（SCP），并符合“技术”和“进化”的适应性标准的动态能力理论。这些研究结果的影响进行了讨论，在理论和实践的背景下。研究的局限性和未来的途径也进行了讨论。
A growing number of researchers and practitioners have placed supply chain resilience (SCRE) at the forefront of their research agendas due to an increased susceptibility to disruptive events in global supply chains. However, empirical research in this area has been affected by the lack of a validated measurement model. In this context, drawing on dynamic capability theory, this research develops a measurement instrument for SCRE. This research conducts a qualitative field study, followed by a quantitative survey. Content analysis is used to explain various dimensions in the qualitative field study, and partial least squares (PLS)-based structural equation modelling (SEM) is used to analyse the data collected in the quantitative survey. The research is conducted with three rounds of data collection and analyses. The results show that SCRE is a multidimensional and hierarchical construct, which consists of three primary dimensions: proactive capability, reactive capability and supply chain design quality. These three primary dimensions are further operationalized through twelve sub-dimensions. The findings also affirm that the SCRE scale potentially better predicts supply chain operational vulnerability (OV) and supply chain performance (SCP) and conforms to the "technical" and "evolutionary" fitness criteria of dynamic capability theory. The implications of these findings are discussed in the context of theory and practice. Limitations and future avenues of research are also discussed.
