dc.description.abstract—Supply chain management (SCM) practices have become strategic resources and capabilities for enhancing both competitive advantage organisational performance (ORGPER). However, it is not clear how SCM Practices influence organisational performance in the agribusiness context. However, the mechanism of SCMPs effects is not yet understood since extant literature has produced mixed results. Therefore, this study sought to examine the mediation effects of competitive advantage in the relationship between SCMPs and ORGPER from the dairy supply chain perspective in Kenya. The study postulated four hypotheses that were tested using Partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) techniques to address the study objectives. A cross-sectional survey design was utilised to gather primary data from 109 dairy co-operatives in the thirteen major milk-producing counties in Kenya. The result revealed that SCM practices have a positive and significant influence on CA (β=0.730), and ORGPER (β=0.237). Additionally, CA has a positive, statistically significant influence on ORGPER (β=0.522). Further results show that CA mediates the relationship between SCMPs and ORGPER. Consequently, the study concludes that SCMPs first generates CA, which in turn enhances ORGPER in an organisation. Theoretically, the study provides insights on the resource-based view theory as well as a conceptual framework for its validation. Similarly, the study informs managers and policymakers in knowing specific SCMPs to focus on to enhance CA and ORGPER of the dairy cooperatives in Kenya.en_US
