	abstract = {The research aims to examine the impact of supplier development on procurement performance, taking into
consideration contract management difficulties as a moderating variable. The research method section of the study
employs a cross-sectional research design. In this survey technique, a questionnaire is employed to collect primary data
from 220 respondents from the purchasing department via Google Forms through an adopted questionnaire. The initial
step in our analysis was to clean and analyse the data using SPSS and SmartPLS 3 software, then incorporate structural
equation modelling (SEM) to conduct our analysis. The findings confirmed that supplier development affects
procurement performance. In addition to this, the contract management difficulties suggested a negative and significant
impact on procurement performance. Furthermore, the relationship between supplier development and procurement
performance is moderated by contract management difficulty. These unique findings highlight the importance of supplier
development and effective contract management in improving procurement performance in the textile industry. The
work’s implementation of transaction cost theory to analyse how supplier development impacts sourcing capability is
recognized as the primary theoretical contribution.},
