Abstract: Despite of the abundant research focus on Supply Chain Integration(SCI), which factors affect SCI, and how they affect SCI remain unexplored. Based on the sample of 251 manufacturing enterprises of Pearl River Delta area in Guangdong Province, a theoretical model on relationship of government support, trust and external supply chain integration is proposed in this study. An empirical research has been done to assess the relationship of government support, trust with customer, trust with supplier, customer integration and supplier integration by the method of Structural Equation Model (SEM). The result shows that government support has significant positive influence on trust with customer and supplier. Government support also has significant positive effects on customer integration and supplier integration. Besides, trust is positive related to external supply chain integration. It is also found that government support is positive related to external supply chain integration indirectly mediated by trust. This study fills the gap of research on effects of institutional force and trust on SCI, with managerial implications on efficient SCI for manufacturing enterprises in China.

Key words: government support, trust, customer integration, supplier integration
