Abstract

The objectives of this research were to 1) study the influence of supply chain integration on supply chain resilience of handwoven silk entrepreneurs, 2) study the influence of supply chain integration on the sustainable performance and 3) study the influence of supply chain resilience on the sustainable performance of handwoven silk entrepreneurs. The sample group consisted of 238 handwoven silk entrepreneurs, receiving community product quality certification in the lower northeastern provincial cluster 1. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics and inferential statistics were analyzed by structural equation models. The results showed that the structural equation model was consistent with the empirical data with the chi-square value of 24.468, df = 16, p = 0.080, χ2/df = 1.529, GFI = 0.975, AGFI = 0.944, CFI = 0.993, RMSEA = 0.047 and RMR = 0.005. The internal integration had a positive influence on supply chain resilience. Customer integration had a positive influence on supply chain resilience with the influence coefficient of 0.449 and 0.558 respectively. In addition, internal integration had a positive influence on sustainable performance and customer integration had a positive influence on sustainable performance, with the influence coefficient of 0.185 and 0.308 respectively and supply chain resilience had a positive influence on sustainable performance, with the influence coefficient of 0.334 The findings of this study can be applied by entrepreneurs in supply chain integration,  operational planning to mitigate risks during uncertain situations in order to achieve sustainable performance.
