Abstract
In today's rapidly evolving automotive industry, companies require effective Inter-organizational Systems (IOS) and strong Business-to-Business (B2B) integration to improve Supply Chain Performance (SCP). Despite the growing importance of IOS adoption and B2B integration in Supply Chain Management (SCM), limited research exists that investigates the effects of these variables within the automotive spare part businesses in Palestine. This study seeks to address this research gap by focusing on the nature of the relationship between IOS adoption, B2B integration, and SCP. The methodology used in this study was based on a quantitative approach, which involved distributing a questionnaire to 70 auto spare parts companies in Palestine. PLS-SEM was employed to test the developed conceptual model. The analysis shows that IOS adoption as well as B2B integration have positive significant effects on SCP. Additionally, it was found that B2B plays a significant mediating role in the relationship between IOS adoption and SCP. The findings enhance the theoretical development by offering empirical data on the link between IOS adoption, B2B integration, and SCP within automotive spare parts. This study also supports the adoption and implementation of information and technology systems to enhance organizational SCP.
