Abstract

The aim of this quantitative study was to investigate the impact of big data analytics capability on sustainable competitive advantage. It also sought to explore the indirect influence of big data analytic capability on sustainable competitive advantage, mediated by top management commitment. Data was collected through a questionnaire administered to a sample of 379 executives from various departments within the organization. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was employed to analyze the collected data. The findings indicated significant direct effects of big data analytic capability on sustainable competitive advantage, specifically in the areas of corporate performance, marketing, and environmental and social aspects. The coefficients for these relationships with respective values of 0.65, 0.55, and 0.49 (p-value < 0.01). It also has an indirect influence on sustainable competitive advantage in marketing through top management commitment coefficient of 0.17 (p-vale< 0.05) and a coefficient total influence of 0.72 (p-vale < 0.01). The study also assessed the consistency of latent variables, including big data analytics capability, top management commitment, organization performance, marketing performance, and environmental and social performance. The results indicated a good fit between the empirical data and the structural model, with all sub-components with values gif.latex?\fn_cm&space;\tiny&space;\fn_cm&space;\tiny&space;\tiny&space;\small&space;\chi&space;{2} /df = 3.300, NFI = 0.921, IFI = 0.944, TLI = 0.929, CFI = 0.943, RMR = 0.047, and RMSEA = 0.078
