This paper presents a study utilizing a conceptual framework empirically to evaluate the advantages which can be obtained by developing an orientation towards sustainability, using new opportunities to collaborate digitally, and attempting to transform maritime operations. This study used a structured questionnaire to gather data from 146 shipping operators including port operators, shipping companies, shipping agencies, and shipping dimensions of sustainability orientation, digital collaboration, relative advantage, and digital transformation intention in these organizations. A structural equation model (SEM) was then used to test the study’s research hypotheses. We confirm that sustainability orientation and digital collaboration had a positive impact on relative advantage. Moreover, digital collaboration and relative advantage had a positive impact on shipping organization's intention to undergo digital transformation. Theoretical contributions and managerial implications are presented to help maritime operators to transform their digital operations. |
