			As changes in information technology have a significant impact on the structure of companies, integration within the supply chain, which exists directly or indirectly in the structure of any company, can be beneficial for company performance. This study examines the indirect impact of customer responsiveness integration within the supply chain on the economic sustainability of the supply chain through the adoption of blockchain technology as a dynamic capability component in the automotive industry using a Bayesian Structural Equation Modeling (BSEM) approach. The statistical population of the study consists of experts, supervisors, and managers of automotive companies, with 123 individuals selected through non-probability sampling. To assess the validity of the questionnaire, opinions of experts were sought, and Cronbach's alpha was used to determine the reliability of the questionnaires. The SEM-AMOS24 software was used to analyze the research hypotheses and examine the validity of the model using BSEM. The findings of the study indicate that internal integration, including customer and supplier integration, and external integration within the supply chain, have a significant impact on the relationship between blockchain technology adoption and the economic sustainability of the supply chain. Additionally, customer responsiveness about Supply Chain Integration (SCI) and economic sustainability is achieved by attracting desirable domestic and foreign investors.
