 1. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
1.1. Introduction to Chapter
3rd chapter of this study is about methodology. This chapter is another significant part of the

study. In this chapter, we stated researched methods we adopted, instruments we used, source of

data collected, collected data type, and also addressed that how we collected data. In this chapter

wo also stated research design, area of study, and population.

1.2. Conceptual Model

This section is going to explain the conceptual model of research. Here SSCM is treated as

dependent variable and top management support, government pressure, supply chain agility and

consumer awareness are termed as independent variables and supply chain collaboration is

treated as moderator Though, according to literature, dependent and independent variables are

related positively. By considering the textile sector of Pakistan, and focusing on employees in

textile industries.

1.3. Types of Study
There are two different kinds of research: quantitative and qualitative. Quantitative deals with

statistical and numerical techniques and tools for data analysis (Veal, 2005). The purpose and

goals of this research are quantitative and pertain to statistical or numerical methods of data

analysis. Hence, in current research we have used quantitative approach.

1.4. Proposed Researched Design

There are two objectives of study one is exploratory and second is explanatory. Both objectives

have different attributes and both are difference from each another. Exploratory research refers to

explore the less-investigated unexploited research areas. While, Explanatory research refers to do

study on the dimensions that are highly insufficient and less-investigated areas for more

clearance (Cooper, Schindler, & Sun, 2006). Hence, this study uses explanatory purpose for

examine the relationship between TMS, GP, CA, SCA, SCC and SSCM in Textile industry in

Pakistan.

There are two dimensions including correlational and causal. The correlational research design

recognizes upon the explaining and determining underlying relationship between variables that

have theoretical and conceptual linkage. Whereas, causal research design highlighted effect

and cause analysis between variables in addition to understanding the causal dimension of the

variables towards its impacts and results with specific steams and stages (Cooper et al., 2006).

Aim of current research is to determine the association between TMS, GP, CA, SCA, SCC and

SSCM in Textile industry in Pakistan. Hence, Correlational research design will suit due to

specific context to evaluate relationship between variables. So, we used Correlational Research

Design for this study.

1.5. Population
The population is regarded as the entire collection of items, and individuals that investigated in

current study (Sekaran & Bougie, 2003). In current research we selected population including

3|Page
top managers, middle manager of textile mills of Punjab, Pakistan, we calculated our population

through website of textile mills and as well as well through direct email address of them.

1.6. Sample Size

Sample size is the element of entire population. We can’t research the complete population;

hence exact sample size of the entire population is required for clarify the population’s findings.

The sample size for this research was selected by the thumb’s rule, as advised by Hair Jr,

Sarstedt, Hopkins, and Kuppelwieser (2014). Who proposed, to examine the size of sample by

multiplying the total items of the questionnaire by ten. Current study has 45 measurement items;

the minimum sample size required 450.

1.7. Data Collection Technique

This study used the five-point Likert indicating 5 as strongly agree and 1 as strongly disagree.

Therefore, this study used the methods of survey for data collection through questionnaire.

1.8. Sampling Technique

The sampling technique generally defines as the selection of a small fraction of different groups

from the general population in order to draw conclusions the findings and results to the entire

population. 2 different kinds of sampling: non-probability & probability sampling (Altmann,

1974). Technique of probability sampling indicates to items in a population that have a

determined possibility of being chosen. And four types of probability sampling: systematic

sampling, stratified random sampling, simple random sampling, and cluster sampling. Whereas,

non-probability sampling, the population elements have no idea what their chances are of being

chosen. Non-probability sampling is further classified as Judgment Sampling, Quota Sampling,

and Convenience Sampling (Sekaran & Bougie, 2003). Convenience sampling is type of a non-

probability sampling that is more commonly utilized in social sciences. The purpose of

convenience sampling is to obtain data from individual who are readily available to the target

population (Saunders, Lewis, Thornhill, & Bristow, 2015). The absence of a sample selection in

4|Page
our investigation is the primary cause for using convenience sampling. We cannot have an

accurate picture of the research population in this situation because we aim to collect data from

employees of textile mills operated in Punjab, Pakistan. Therefore, this study selected a

convenience sampling approach from the non-probability sampling methods.

1.9. Statistical Technique

The two basic components of statistical methods for testing hypotheses are multiple regression

analysis and structural equation modelling (SEM). Multiple regression is a type that is used for

model to explain the association between multiple IVs on DV. Multiple regression measures the

IVs and DV. Whereas, because a measurement model and a structural model were used, the

Structural Equation Model extends the implication of multiple regression analysis. Therefore,

this study used Partial Least Square (PLS) and Statistical Package for the Social Sciences

(SPSS) for results and findings.

1.10. Measurements

1.11. Chapter Summary

This chapter emphasized the procedures and methodology undertaken and followed in order to

successfully conduct the research study. This current chapter discussed the objectives and

rationale of current research, philosophical position of the study, quantitative research

approaches and data collection procedures. This chapter described research strategy, in addition,

data collection techniques were also stated. In addition, population and sample along with

sample size, sampling technique, measurement and research instrument used to measure the

concepts under studied (i.e., top management support, government pressure, supply chain

agility, consumer awareness and sustainable supply chain management and the moderating role

of supply chain collaboration) were also discussed.

2. DATA ANALYSIS & RESULTS

2.1. Introduction of Chapter
This chapter shows the findings and results of analysis of data, data analysis, and explores how

participants' reactions to the findings were affected. This chapter provides the knowledge in a

logical order. Information gathered through a questionnaire or survey served as the primary

source of data for this investigation. Data was analyzed for completeness and accuracy we used

SPSS v26 and SmartPls 4 for calculate Descriptive Statistics, Frequencies. PLS-SEM analysis,

8|Page
which incorporates measurement and evaluation of structural model. The measuring framework

presents the construct's validity and reliability. Data was coded, followed by data entry, and

subsequently appropriate statistical tests were run that made it possible to have the conclusions

displayed as charts and tables.

Moreover, in this research, data analysis was performed into sections: the Respondents'

Personally Identifiable information is covered in the first section whereas the part two

investigates the respondents' answers to the question and response period. “SPSS v26 was used

to evaluate quantitative data and SmartPLS 4 to calculate Multicollinearity, Descriptive

Analysis, Frequencies, Cronbach’s Alpha, Validity and Reliability (the scholar can analyze the

connection between the independent & dependent variables using this statistical method.” It can

give model information, as well as the factors that contributed of each of the model's IVs, also

used SmartPLS for bootstrapping to calculate the moderating effect on IVs and DV. The findings

and results are reported in a direct way, and the methodology's systematic applications were

explained. Findings cover demographic information of respondents and variables under studied.

The relation between TMS, GP, CA, SCA and SSCM has been examined using SmartPls 4 and it

also used for testing moderation analysis for examine the impact of SCC into the association

amongst these variables.

2.2. Response Rate

In this study we have received data from workers of textile mills of Lahore and Faisalabad. By

informing respondents via Google Forms, WhatsApp, SMS, phone calls, and personal visits,

attempts have been made to enhance the rate of response. Due to these efforts, out of 450

questionnaires, we get back 406 responses. Therefore, this gives the response rate of 90.22%.

2.3.1. Gender
The sample of respondents represents 263 (75.5%) were male and 96 (24.5%) were female

respondents (N = 392). We observed that most of the peoples were male who are working in

supply chain section. So, this is the reason that females were few in this study.

2.4. Evaluation of the PLS-SEM Results

Before moving toward any analysis whether it is descriptive, measurement model or structural

model, the screening of missing data and outliers are necessary to be examined to take the

assumptions of multivariate analysis instructions. A mean substitution value is provided for the

12 | P a g e
missing value in a data set as the Likert scale (5-point) is used to measure the impact of latent

variables on the criterion variable.

The applications used for the data analysis of the current study is “PLS-SEM” in which three

techniques have been used for the confirmation of the theory, and these techniques include PLS-

Algorithm, PLS-Bootstrapping, and finally the PLS-Blindfolding is executed to analyze the

reliability and validity of construct of the tool chosen for the measurement of the study, to check

the acceptance and rejection of the hypotheses chosen for the study and finally the predictive

relevance of the research framework is tested and recommendations are drawn from results.

Prior to examining the convergent validity, the scholars observe the “cross-loading and factor

loadings” of all the agreed constructs of variables of this research for the purpose to pin out the

issues that toil as a preliminary requirement of the “measurement model”.

2.4.1. Measurement Model

The measuring model is assessed to look at the construct's quality. The outer loadings are

investigated first in the examination of the quality requirements, then perhaps the validity

structure and reliability are examined.

2.4.2. Structure Model

Another step in SEM is to evaluate the hypothesized link to assess the suggested hypotheses.

However, the required tests that have taken place in “structural model” are; “The model's

predictive significance, significance level, and testing hypothesis with path coefficient and T-

value were all investigated.”.

2.4.2.1. Direct Relationship

H1: Top Management Support has significant and positive relationship with Sustainable

Supply Chain Management

13 | P a g e
H1 develops whether TMS has significant and positive relationship with SSCM. The results

revealed that TMS has s significant impact on SSCM (β = 0.192, t = 3.295, p = 0.001). Hence,

H1 is supported.

H2: Government Pressure has significant and positive relationship with Sustainable Supply

Chain Management

H2 develops whether GP has significant and positive relationship with SSCM. The results

revealed that GP has a significant impact on SSCM (β = 0.120, t = 2.078, p = 0.038). Hence, H2

is supported.

H3: Supply Chain Agility has significant and positive relationship with Sustainable Supply

Chain Management.

H3 develops whether SCA has significant and positive relationship with SSCM. The results

revealed that SCA has a significant impact on SSCM (β = 0.355, t = 6.371, p = 0.000). Hence,

H3 is supported.

H4: Consumer Awareness has significant and positive relationship with Sustainable Supply

Chain Management.

H4 develops whether CA has significant and positive relationship with SSCM. The results

revealed that CA has a significant impact on SSCM (β = 0.120, t = 3.930, p = 0.000). Hence, H4

is supported.

Results of Direct Hypotheses are summarized in Table No. 9.

2.5. Chapter Summary

The conclusions drawn from the data are presented in this chapter, presented the results, and

performed data analysis. This chapter deals with data analysis tools, techniques and results. Data

have been coded, data entered, and subsequently adequate statistical tests have been conducted

15 | P a g e
which allow results to be presented in tables. The analysis of the data was separated into two

parts: the first portion dealt with the respondents' demographic profile, whereas the part 2

examined how they responded to the questions. “Data was analyzed with SPSS v26 and

SmartPLS 4 to calculate CA, multicollinearity, Multiple regression analysis and describe

statistic. Results of above-mentioned test showed satisfactory output. There was no issue of

multicollinearity, correlation and other tests.
