This study examines the role of supply chain (SC) integration in promoting SC resilience. It contributes to the literature on the SC by proposing and empirically testing a conceptual model that explains the relationships between collaboration, SC integration, knowledge sharing, and SC resilience. An online survey questionnaire was distributed to 450 SC managers. The sample consisted of 186 valid respondents, and the response rate was 41.3%. Data were analysed using partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) using Smart PLS Software. This study confirms that knowledge sharing is a crucial predictor of SC resilience. It also finds that collaboration and SC integration have less impact than knowledge sharing in promoting SC resilience. This is justified by the vital role of knowledge sharing in promoting SC collaboration, integration, and resilience. Thus, improving SC knowledge sharing impacts SC integration and resilience significantly.
