Journal of Resource Management and Decision Engineering In Press 2026 05 01 Conceptual Model of the Smart Supply Chain in the Oil and Gas Industry in Line with the Fourth Industrial Revolution (National Iranian South Oil Company) Conceptual Model of the Smart Supply Chain in the Oil and Gas Industry in Line with the Fourth Industrial Revolution (National Iranian South Oil Company) 1 16 EN Journal Article 2025 07 03 <p>The objective of the present study is to propose a conceptual model for a smart supply chain in the oil and gas industry in alignment with the Fourth Industrial Revolution. The research method employed in this paper is descriptive-correlational, based on covariance matrix analysis, and conducted through a combination of library and field methods. The research model was derived through the analysis and interpretation of interviews conducted with experts in the country’s oil and gas industry. Ultimately, using 318 questionnaires collected from the national oil and gas sector, a measurement and structural model was designed to assess the relationships among variables and to validate the developed model. According to the findings of structural equation modeling, in the National Iranian South Oil Company, “causal conditions influencing the implementation of the smart supply chain” affect the “phenomenon of smart supply chain implementation.” The “phenomenon of smart supply chain implementation” affects “strategies for implementing the smart supply chain.” “Contextual factors affecting strategies for implementing the smart supply chain” influence “strategies for implementing the smart supply chain.” “Intervening conditions influencing strategies for implementing the smart supply chain” affect “strategies for implementing the smart supply chain.” “Intervening conditions influencing strategies for implementing the smart supply chain” also affect the “phenomenon of smart supply chain implementation.” Furthermore, “strategies for implementing the smart supply chain” impact the “outcomes resulting from smart supply chain implementation strategies.” The results of the present study increase the awareness of researchers and stakeholders regarding smart supply chains in the oil and gas industry in the context of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and can be utilized by researchers and those interested in innovation within the oil and gas sector.</p> https://www.journalrmde.com/index.php/jrmde/article/download/210/274
