Does digital supply chain flexibility matter? Exploring its impact on smart quality systems and the mediating role of sustainable procurement: A study on five-star hotels in KSA
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This paper aims to explore the influence of digital supply chain flexibility in five-star Hotels on smart quality systems together with its mediating effect through sustainable procurement practices within KSA. The methodology used is quantitative, based on data collected from a sample of five-star Hotels in KSA. Based on the above findings, this study argues about an integral part of DSCF (Digital Supply Chain Flexibility), SP and SQS for adopting theoretical framework. In this study, partial least squares-structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) was used to validate the hypotheses. Digital supply chain flexibility has a significant positive relationship with sustainable procurement practices and smart quality systems in five-star Hotels. This means that actions such as fostering sustainable procurement practices could act on the ability of digital supply chain flexibility to boost smart quality systems, which play a role in enhancing operational efficiency and service quality. This paper contributes to the examination of various strategies for digital supply chains with sustainable procurement practices and creative quality systems within the hospitality sector; particularly focusing on KSA. Although the research findings are constrained to five-star Hotels from KSA they offer important directions for future research in different hospitality settings. These results provide practical information for hotels managers and policymakers on how digital supply chain flexibility, and sustainable procurement practices combined would contribute to the high-quality service provision as well as operational resilience of five-star Hotels. While these lessons have been drawn from the KSA market, they are also relevant to other hospitality markets with hospitality markets worldwide. This is the first study to examine Mediating Role of Sustainable Procurement and Digital Supply Chain Flexibility Impact on Smart Quality Systems Study in Five-Star Hospitals in KSA.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
