Abstract
The growing complexity of global supply chains, combined with escalating social, environmental, and economic pressures, has intensified scholarly and policy interest in sustainability-oriented management frameworks. Within this context, the well-being economy has emerged as a compelling paradigm that reorients organizational and economic objectives toward human flourishing, social resilience, and long-term value creation rather than short-term profit maximization. This study presents a systematic review and meta-analysis examining the relationships among corporate social responsibility (CSR), sustainable supply chain management practices (SSCMP), organizational resilience, innovation, and performance outcomes. Drawing on peer-reviewed empirical studies across diverse geographical and industrial contexts, the review synthesizes fragmented evidence to clarify the magnitude, direction, and consistency of these relationships. The systematic review identifies dominant theoretical lenses, methodological trends, and contextual moderators shaping sustainability-performance linkages, while the meta-analysis quantifies effect sizes to assess the robustness of key associations. The findings indicate that both internal and external CSR initiatives significantly strengthen sustainable supply chain practices, which in turn enhance organizational resilience, innovation capacity, and overall performance. Moreover, the results suggest that sustainability-oriented strategies aligned with well-being economy principles generate synergistic benefits, enabling organizations to balance economic competitiveness with social and environmental responsibility. By integrating insights from CSR, supply chain management, and well-being-oriented economic thinking, this study contributes to a more coherent understanding of how firms can operationalize sustainability in practice. The review offers valuable implications for scholars, managers, and policymakers seeking evidence-based pathways to foster resilient, innovative, and socially responsible organizations in an increasingly uncertain global environment. Keywords: Well-being economy; corporate social responsibility; sustainable supply chain management; organizational resilience; meta-analysis
