Abstract
Information sharing between supply chain partners is the key establishment for
close coordination and cooperation in the accomplishment of supply chain
management (SCM) execution and managing the flow of information in the supply
chain process. However, many firms are still reluctant to share information with other
supply chain partners. Therefore, this study examined the relevance of information
sharing in the context ofmanufacturing companies in Malaysia and how information
sharing can enhance supply chain performance. This study also investigates the
relationship between information quality, information technology, information
security and information sharing across the supply chain. In addition, it also examined
how information security culture moderates the relationship between information
security and information sharing. Moreover, this study investigates the moderating
effect of information security technology on the relationship between information
technology and information sharing. In addition, this study examined the moderating
effect of information leakage on the relationship between.information sharing and
supply chain performance. RBV theory has been applied in the research model to
support the relationships between information quality, information technology, and
information security as resources of the supply chain to information sharing which is
the capability. Moreover, RBV supports the relationship between'information sharing
as a capability to the supply chain performance as a competitive advantage. Data were
collected from 238 manufacturing companies via survey questionnaire developed from
related literature. The data collected were then analyzed using structural equation
modeling via SmartPLS version 3.2 software.
