Abstract: The study aims to investigate the influence of perceived supply chain sustainable performances (social, economic, and environmental) on the sustainable competitiveness of Malaysian freight logistics. The study developed and distributed a structured survey questionnaire to 300 Malaysian freight logistics practitioners, which resulted in 144 valid responses. The study hypotheses were tested using partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM). Resultantly, economic and environmentally sustainable performance indicators (SPIs) in the supply chain significantly and positively influenced the sustainable competitiveness of Malaysian freight logistics competitiveness. Surprisingly, supply chain performance social indicators did not directly affect Malaysian sustainable freight logistics competitiveness. The study extends the current literature by demonstrating the influence of perceived supply chain sustainable performance on the sustainable competitiveness of Malaysian freight logistics. The study also employed PLS-SEM to validate higher-order constructs, hence enabling developing and testing a useful supply chain risk management model for freight logistics practitioners.
