Abstract: Anchored on stakeholder management theory, this study applies the Structure-Conduct-Performance framework to analyse the effects of various stakeholders' participation on sustainability integration and organisational performance of maritime transport firms. Survey data were collected from 156 maritime transport firms. It was found that sustainability integration fully mediates the effects of stakeholders' participation on organisational performance, which highlighted the importance of developing sustainability in a business context and engaging stakeholder participation in the planning and management of sustainable maritime transport activities. The findings enrich theoretical research on stakeholder management and provide directions for maritime transport firms and transport policymakers to achieve better sustainability results.
