Abstract
Sustainability is becoming a more important issue for a wide range of enterprises; hence organisational capability techniques and practices are becoming increasingly important. Because operations management strategies have such a large influence on many sustainability consequences, it is vital that the operations management function adopts sustainability management standards. This has ramifications for all parts of operations management, including strategy, design, planning and control, and improvement, as well as choices and procedures. This study investigated the effect of operations management strategies and organisational capabilities on sustainability of the oil and gas firms in Port-Harcourt, Nigeria. Descriptive survey research design was adopted in the course of the study with a quantitative approach to explain the mediating effect of organizational capability on operations management strategies and sustainability. A total of 364 copies of questionnaire were dispersed to the staff of the selected oil and gas firms and 290 was filled and return. The data was for the study was analysed and presented using SPSS (Statistical packages for social sciences) and SEM-PLS (structural equation method) was used in testing hypotheses. Whereby each independent sub variable was tested against all variables of the dependent variable to identify how much impacts it has on an individual variable. The study revealed that all the dimensions (facility strategy, value strategy and inventory control strategy of operations management strategies have positive effect on sustainability. However, findings indicated that organisational capability mediates the relationship between all the dimensions of operations management strategies on the sustainability of the selected oil and gas firms. The significant values for all the variables are less than 0.05 except for the mediating effect of organisational capability on facility strategy and sustainability. When all the variables were combined, the relationship between facility strategy and organisational capability (β =0.091, p 0.246) and between facility strategy and sustainability (β =0.083, p 0.146) were observed to be insignificant. Overall, the study concluded that organizational capability mediates the relationship between operations management strategies on the sustainability of the selected oil and gas firms. this study recommends that managers of the selected firms can choose organisational capability strategy of energy efficiency that will help to promote sustainable operations management in the oil and gas industry.
