This study aims to identify the factors that directly and indirectly influence sustainable organizational performance. This study also categorizes its findings based on research themes, theories employed, and the organizational sectors under examination, thereby providing a comprehensive, up-to-date, and structured overview as a foundation for theoretical development and strategic guidance for organizations seeking to enhance their sustainable performance. This study employs the systematic literature review (SLR) method following the PRISMA guidelines. The Scopus database was used to search for articles. The study analyzed 44 selected articles based on predetermined criteria. The results suggest that sustainable organizational performance can be influenced by several key factors, including knowledge, innovation, leadership, organizational learning, human resource management, organizational culture, technology, and market orientation. This study also reveals the theories used in research related to sustainable organizational performance. The Resource-Based View emerged as the most dominant theory, followed by Dynamic Capabilities, Social Exchange, and Knowledge-Based View. Several mediating and moderating variables were identified as playing a significant role in strengthening or weakening the relationship between factors, although some findings yielded inconsistent results. These findings underscore the need for further research to clarify the role of these factors in supporting sustainable organizational performance.
