The purpose of this study is to ‘investigate the impact of coercive and non-coercive drivers of supply chain sustainability in chain performance, with regard to the role of intermediary monitoring and collaboration’ in one of the automotive companies. In this study, a developed conceptual model was designed and validity and reliability of designed questionnaire were tested and confirmed. To gather the data, the statistical population included all stuff of reputable automaker. A statistical sample of 188 persons was selected using Cochran formula by simple random sampling method. The results of the hypothesis with 95% confidence interval using structural equation modelling using AMOS 26 software showed that: monitoring has an impact of 0.66 on sustainability while collaboration effect is 0.22. Also, monitoring has no impact on sustainability. Meanwhile, a non-coercive driver impact on collaboration is about 0.26 VS coercive drivers have no impact. Contrarily non-coercive driver’s impact on monitoring is about 0.39 while a coercive driver is 0.74. Sustainable Supply Chain Management is a popular subject in the area of operations management for both researchers and practitioners. Supply chain sustainability is availability to reduce long-term risks associated with resources consumption, energy cost fluctuations, product commitments, and pollution management, which establishes an appropriate balance between economic development, environmental monitoring, and social assets.
