Digital transformation readiness empirical data and script

The dataset supports a study that conceptualises and validates a multidimensional digital transformation readiness framework for fragile perishable supply chains, using empirical evidence from Malawi's banana sector. A structured survey of 353 supply chain actors (farmers, intermediaries, transporters, and retailers) was conducted. The data includes 14 Likert-scale items measuring operational efficiency capability, human capability, institutional enforcement conditions, and resilience capacity. The accompanying R script performs exploratory factor analysis (EFA), confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), reliability, validity, and mediation analysis. The dataset and script enable replication of the four-factor and second-order CFA models reported in the associated publication.

本数据集支撑一项以马拉维香蕉产业实证数据为基础的研究，该研究针对脆弱易腐供应链构建并验证了多维度数字化转型就绪性框架。研究针对353名供应链参与者（含种植户、中间商、运输商与零售商）开展了结构化问卷调查。数据集包含14个李克特量表条目，用于衡量运营效率能力、人力能力、制度执行环境与韧性能力四大维度。配套的R脚本可执行探索性因子分析（EFA）、验证性因子分析（CFA）、信度检验、效度检验与中介效应分析。本数据集与配套脚本可复现关联发表论文中报告的四因子模型与二阶验证性因子分析模型。
