Abstract: Sustainable organizational performance (SOP) can differentiate an organization from its rivals. Thus, understanding the antecedents and driving factors of SOP has received wide attention from both the academicians and practitioners in recent years. In line with such attention, this empirical paper endeavored to investigate and identify the relationship between perceived organizational support (POS) and SOP with the mediating effect of sustainable organizational reputation (SOR). Based on 384 survey responses from mid-level managers using a cross-sectional survey design, we followed a deductive approach to test the hypotheses using covariance-based structural equation modeling. Our empirical investigation revealed that POS has a significant positive relationship with SOP as well as with SOR while SOR has a significant positive relationship with SOP. Regarding the mediating effect, we found that SOR can partially mediate the positive relationship between POS and SOP. We strongly believe that the findings revealed from this empirical study may aid interested future researchers in their quest of understanding the inherent relationship between perceived organizational support and sustainable organizational performance in the presence of sustainable organizational reputation. Further, such results may provide a platform for the top-level managers and other policymakers in their efforts to improve and sustain organizational reputation that will ultimately lead to sustainable organizational performance through proper organizational support.
