Abstract

This study attempts to investigate the function of internal integration as a mediator between Internet of Things (IoT) capabilities and supplier integration for supply chain management performance in Pakistan's textile industry. Utilizing a questionnaire instrument derived from previous research to collect primary data. To evaluate the proposed hypothesis, the collected data are analysed in SmartPLS version 3 using statistical tests such as confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modelling. The findings of this study confirmed the full mediation effect of internal integration on the supply chain management performance of the textile industry in Pakistan. The study reveals, contrary to popular belief, that IoT-enabled supplier and external integration have a greater impact on supply chain performance than IoT-enabled internal integration, and that textile managers should priorities establishing internal integration within their internal functions before pursuing external integration with customers or suppliers.
