GARCIA-ALCARAZ, J. L.; ADARME-JAIMES, W.  y  BLANCO-FERNANDEZ, J.. Impact of human resources on wine supply chain flexibility, quality, and economic performance. Ing. Investig. [online]. 2016, vol.36, n.3, pp.74-81. ISSN 0120-5609.  https://doi.org/10.15446/ing.investig.v36n3.56091.

This article assesses the impact of human resources skills on production quality, flexibility, and economic performance of La Rioja's wine supply chain. These four elements were integrated as latent variables composed of 15 observed variables and associated through six hypotheses. Data were gathered from 64 wineries located in La Rioja, Spain, and hypotheses were validated in a structural equation model using WarpPLS v.5 software. Results indicate that human resources skills have a positive direct impact on SC flexibility and quality, but not on economic performance; however, these variables are indirectly associated through SC quality and SC flexibility.

Palabras clave : Supply chain; flexibility; quality; economic performance; structural equation model; human resources.
