This paper integrates data collection, analysis, and findings to obtain insights into the organizational dynamics that impact supply chain management performance. In an initial qualitative research, I first investigated organizational vulnerabilities to disruptive events in the food industry that impact organizational outcomes. I interviewed twenty-seven directors of operations, logistics managers and front-line crew members. In the second study, I distributed a self-administered quantitative survey among 144 operation directors, operation managers, crew members, logistics managers and truck drivers; I investigate the effects of information technology, forecasting accuracy and organizational effectiveness impacting supply chain management performance and employee engagement, respectively. I found in the qualitative strand that during disruptive events, crisis leads to unethical decision making, crisis drives innovative thinking, and the important of cognitive factor. I developed a framework for disaster management performance prior, during, and after turbulent events, and I ask: To what extent do effective managers and decision-makers impact supply chain management performance and employee engagement outcomes? I used structural equation modeling to examine the hypothesized model.
