Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a huge impact on the global supply chain. Recent studies show that industries must face the adverse effects of COVID-19 and manage them in 2022 and even beyond. In addition, as living with the COVID-19 pandemic becomes the new normal, based on contingency theory, we consider the COVID-19 pandemic as a supply chain uncertainty. The understanding of uncertainty in supply management is still incomplete. Therefore, it is significant to construct a measurement model for assessing the impacts of COVID-19 on supply chains across industries to better manage these impacts. The model also can be used for investigating the impacts of other supply chain crises. Empirical data for this study was collected from firms in UAE. Results not only reveal the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on UAE's supply chains but also demonstrate the reliability and validity of the instrument. The paper provides a validated measurement model, which has strong implications for future research and contributes to the supply chain management literature.
