• Buyer extra -role behavior
• Supplier benevolence
• Information sharing
• Supply chain transparency

This study is aimed at investigating how buyer extra-role behavior enhances supply-side operational trans-parency. Using data collected in a two-wave survey from Chinese manufacturing firms, regression analysis, and bootstrapping techniques are used to test the proposed hypotheses. The findings indicate that buyer extra-role behavior positively impacts supply-side operational transparency through the promotion of supplier benevo-lence and the facilitation of supplier information sharing. This study contributes to the existing SC transparency literature through its examination of the impact of buyer extra-role behavior on supply-side operational trans-parency as well as the serial mediating roles of supplier benevolence and supplier information sharing.
