Abstract

This research was carried out to identify the factors which influence the organizational sustainable performance. A total of 150 sets of structures questionnaires were distributed to the Multinational Corporations (MNCs) located in Malaysia and 84.6 percent of the total questionnaires sent were responded and returned. In order to test the relationship between the variables, the data collected from the respondents were analysed using various statistical techniques including descriptive statistics, factor analysis, reliability analysis, correlation analysis and regression analysis. The results show that Technology and Organizational Type has significant influence on optimization of organizational sustainable performance. In an increasingly competitive global market, more and more organization is striving for optimizing their performance. The finding in this study resulted in recommending the management on factors which influence the organization performance and thus helps in the formation of strategies to enhance the factors for optimizing and sustaining the performance. This study contributes to the limited empirical research examining the effectiveness of the factors introduced to which organizational sustainable performances are achieved. In addition the study provides an empirical analysis of the association between the five factors introduced (Income, Technology, Organization Type, People and Quality). The research described in this study provides evidence that paying equal attention to both Income and Technology Type factors is paramount in order to create a successful performance-driven organization that could achieve sustainable organizational performance.
