The increasing competition in the construction industry requires companies to cooperate and be actively involved in the dynamic management of multiple relationships and supply chains. To facilitate such dynamic supply chain management, some enterprises implement internet of things (IoT) technology and its smart devices. Through the utilisation of IoT technologies in supply chain cooperation, some enterprises have achieved the co-creation of values. However, few researchers evaluate the impacts of IoT implementation on the achievement of value co-creation in the Chinese construction context. To fill these gaps, this study concentrates on exploring the role of IoT implementation in enhancing value co-creation in terms of competency alignment (CA), behavioural alignment (BA), process alignment (PA) and congruence of expectation (CE) in Chinese supply chain collaboration. The data that informs the methodology is collected through a questionnaire and the findings illustrate that IoT implementation positively correlates with CA, BA, PA and CE. The paper concludes by summarising the study's findings and outlining the managerial implications and opportunities for future study.
