The aim of this paper is to understand the relationship between purchasing social responsibility (PSR) and purchasing performance (PP) with the mediating impact of organisation learning (OL) and moderating impact of purchasing strategic integration (PSI). The findings indicate that PSR has a direct impact on PP, whereas PSR and PP relationship is significantly mediated by OL. In addition, the correlation between PSR and PP is negatively moderated by PSI. The present study findings suggest that the use of purchasing social responsibility has an impact on both suppliers and buyers’ operations in the supply chain that advance OL and increase purchasing performance. The findings of this research also indicate that organisations can understand the impact of purchasing social responsibility, but also focus entirely on other purchases which may have an impact on PP.
