Abstract

Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) play a crucial role as the backbone of the Malaysian economy. The integration of supply chain activities is an important aspect of a firm to enhance its supply chain performance. However, there is still much to explore about the role of supply chain integration in the performance of SMEs. Furthermore, there is a lack of literature that has studied the mediating role of supply chain risk and information sharing in the relationship between supply chain integration and supply chain performance. Therefore, this study aims to address the research gaps through a quantitative study. Random sampling technique was used to collect the data from respondents. A total of 242 responses were collected via a questionnaire from SMEs listed in Federation of Malaysian Manufacturers’ directory. SPSS and SmartPLS software were used to analyse the collected data. Findings revealed that there is a significant relationship between supply chain integration and supply chain performance. Similarly, a significant relationship between supply chain integration and supply chain risk management as well as supply chain integration and information sharing were found. In addition, information sharing had a significant relationship with supply chain performance. However, insignificant relationship is found between supply chain risk management and supply chain performance. The findings showed that supply chain risk management did not mediate the relationship between supply chain integration and supply chain performance, whereas information sharing did mediate the relationship between supply chain integration and supply chain performance. This implies that to enhance the performance of SMEs supply chain, it is important to emphasise on supply chain integration and information sharing
