Abstract

This motivational research study shows a better understanding of the influence that aspects like blockchain technology, integration, and mapping have on supply chain sustainability in Pakistan's supply chain industry. The sample size used for the illustration mentioned above was 384, with a 5% error margin and a 95% confidence level. The supply chain sector was selected as the target industry for the campaign. We circulated 500 questionnaires and received valid responses from the targeted supply chain sector 384 through a Google form survey using the PLS-SEM model for work. We will use the PLS-SEM sampling technique to assess the power of latent variables and how well they are able to explain the target structure. The reason PLS-SEM is mainly used here is that it can estimate very complex models with a small amount of data. The results support each of the following direct hypotheses: blockchain technologies have a negative relation with supply chain integration, blockchain technologies have a negative impact on supply chain mapping, the integration has a significant influence on the supply chain sustainability, and supply chain mapping has a significant influence on the sustainability. At least in the future, it should be added with more variables to understand the supply chain sustainability across industries or nations. The focus of this study was mainly on blockchain technologies, supply chain integration, and mapping of supply chain sustainability This study highlights the need for supply chain managers to improve integration and mapping independently to boost sustainability. Fostering collaboration and information sharing can enhance traceability and compliance. Adapting resilient practices helps organizations manage inflation and support sustainable operations. This study enhances the working environment by improving the research piece that charts the influence of BT and SCs in Pakistani supply chain firms.
