This study aimed to investigate the influence of green supply chain management practices on the environmental performance of manufacturing firms, with a specific focus on understanding how institutional pressure moderated this relationship. The research design encompassed a holistic approach, incorporating an in-depth examination of the current literature and data collection via a well-structured questionnaire. Random sampling was utilized to gather data from manufacturing companies in Pakistan, and the data analysis employed PLS-SEM. The findings revealed a significant relationship between GSCM practices and the environmental performance of manufacturing firms. Moreover, the study identified that institutional pressure played a moderating role, influencing the strength of this relationship. Notably, the impact of GSCM practices on environmental performance varied under different levels of institutional pressure. This research underscored the importance of considering institutional pressure in understanding the link between GSCM practices and environmental performance. The implications extended to academics and practitioners, providing insights into the nuanced dynamics of sustainable practices in manufacturing settings. Practical implications involved tailoring GSCM strategies based on varying degrees of institutional pressure for optimal environmental outcomes. The original contribution of this study lies in its comprehensive exploration of the interplay between GSCM practices, institutional pressure, and environmental performance. By incorporating institutional pressure as a moderator, the research provided a nuanced understanding of how external influences shaped the effectiveness of GSCM in fostering ecological sustainability within manufacturing firms.

The objective of this research is to assess the influence of effective supply chain management on the success of transport infrastructure projects, considering the moderating effects of building information modeling (BIM) and environmental factors. Data were collected through questionnaires from construction projects and subjected to analysis to gain insights into the contributions of various supply chain management strategies to the overall performance of transport infrastructure projects, as well as how the presence of BIM and environmental considerations affect this relationship. The data were subjected to analysis using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The results of this investigation revealed a significant impact of supply chain management practices in the construction industry on the performance of transport infrastructure projects, with BIM and environmental considerations acting as moderators in this association. This study holds both practical and theoretical significance, as it contributes to the existing body of knowledge by shedding light on the role of supply chain management in construction and its influence on the success of transport infrastructure projects while also exploring the moderating influence of BIM and environmental factors. The findings provide valuable perspectives for improving supply chain management practices in construction, thereby enhancing the outcomes of transport infrastructure projects.
