Selecting resilient-sustainable suppliers can improve sustainability status and reduce supply chain disruption. This study aims to design a model for selecting resilient-sustainable suppliers in the supply chain of the Shahid Ghandi Corporation Complex. For this purpose, after reviewing the theoretical literature, 76 and 50 indicators were identified for evaluating sustainable suppliers and resilient suppliers, respectively. These indicators were investigated by supply chain experts in Shahid Ghandi Corporation Complex and, then, 15 indicators were determined to be suitable for each of the sustainable and resilient suppliers. A questionnaire was distributed among the supply chain experts of Shahid Ghandi Corporation Complex and the resilient-sustainable supplier selection model was confirmed using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) based on the 136 questionnaires gathered from the participants. Sustainability indicators were classified into three economic, social, and environmental dimensions, and resilience indicators were divided into three categories of absorptive capacity, adaptive capacity, and restorative capacity. The results showed that the economic dimension had the first rank, the environmental dimension the second rank, and the indices of adaptation capacity, restorative capacity, social capacity and absorption capacity in choosing the sustainable-resilient supplier model were the next priorities, respectively.

As one of the main challenges of the 21st century supply chain, complexity has become a crisis, costly, and difficult for many supply chain managers. However, few studies have prioritized this strategy. This study aimed to investigate the effect of supply chain complexity on competitiveness performance in the Iran Khodro Company. To achieve this goal, the relationship between different sources of complexity (upstream complexity, domestic production, and downstream complexity) and competitiveness performance is examined using a conceptual model. The statistical population of this study included all Iran Khodro experts, whose number reached 218 in 2022. Owing to the limitations of the statistical community, all members were selected as a sample. The collection tools for this study included two standard questionnaires: the supply chain and Porter's competitiveness performance. The content validity of the questionnaires was confirmed by experts, its construct validity was confirmed by confirmatory factor analysis, and the reliability of the questionnaires was confirmed using Cronbach's alpha coefficient and the combined reliability index. The collected data were analyzed using the structural equations in the LISREL software. The results of hypothesis testing show that, in general, supply chain complexity has a significant inverse effect on competitiveness performance.

This study  investigates the impact of excessive virtual space usage on social laziness within the executive bodies of Sirjan. Utilizing structural modeling to analyze data collected through standardized questionnaires, the study reveals that heavy use of virtual space can lead to an increase in social laziness, which, over time, negatively affects employees' efficiency and productivity. Structural analyses further indicate that this phenomenon can gradually reduce effective participation and interaction among organization members. The paper also offers practical recommendations for managers, such as holding awareness workshops, enhancing time management, and promoting in-person interactions, all of which can help reduce the adverse effects of excessive virtual space usage. This study provides valuable insights into the challenges posed by digital engagement and its consequences for organizations, paving the way for future research in this field.
