The purpose of this study is investigating the effect of supply chain drivers on Qazvin manufacturing companies’ supply chain integration and company performance. The organizational culture has been used as a moderating factor in this relation. The study has 6 hypotheses in which data are gathered with questionnaire form 79 supply chain managers, as required sample, using structural equation model with the partial least square analyzed. The findings revealed that internal drivers have positive impact on supply chain integration. Also none of the dimensions of external drivers have positive impact on integration. As the results show, organizational culture mediates the relation between external drivers and supply chain integration, but does not mediate the relation between internal drivers and integration. Eventually, supply chain integration has a positive and significant impact on company financial and operational performance. The results of this study provide a comprehensive understanding to supply chain managers and lead them to identify effective factors on supply chain integration and improving company performance
