The Impact of Digital Transformation on the Sustainable Performance of Organizations: A Configurational Approach
ABSTRACT Sustainable development has emerged as a critical concern globally, and digital transformation holds enormous potential for advancing the sustainable development of organizations. However, the relationship between digital transformation and sustainable performance remains largely unclear. To gain an in‐depth understanding of this relationship, we explore the effects of digital transformation dimensions on sustainable performance across diverse environmental and organizational conditions from a configuration perspective. The findings show that efficiency transformation and value transformation have different combinatory effects (facilitating or inhibiting) in achieving economic and environmental performance configurations in agribusinesses, considering organizational and environmental factors, such as firm size, industry type, and market turbulence. This study offers new perspectives on this relationship and provides managerial insights into how agribusinesses can achieve sustainable performance in different organizations and environments.
