Abstract：
The apparel and textile industry is the backbone of the Sri Lankan economy, contributing significantly to the country\'s gross domestic product (GDP). The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, which also triggered the ongoing economic crisis in Sri Lanka, has a profound effect on the organizational performance of apparel sector firms in Sri Lanka. In this context, the study examines the impact of multi-dimensional corporate sustainability practices on organizational performance in the said sector. The study employed the partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) technique for analysing and testing the hypothesis of the study while using Smart PLS 4.0 software as the analysis tool. Relevant data were collected through a questionnaire from 300 apparel firms registered with the Board of Investment of Sri Lanka (BOI). The study results indicated that \"economic vigour,\" \"ethical practices,\" and \"social equity\" have a significant impact on organizational performance, while \"corporate governance\" and \"environmental performance\" have an insignificant impact. Unique discoveries from this study would be useful to prosper organizational performance and formulate novel sustainable future strategies not limited to the garment industry even during harsh economic conditions.
摘要：
服装和纺织业是斯里兰卡经济的支柱,对该国的国内生产总值(GDP)做出了重大贡献。冠状病毒（COVID-19）大流行，这也引发了斯里兰卡持续的经济危机，对斯里兰卡服装行业公司的组织绩效有深远的影响。在这种情况下，该研究考察了多维企业可持续发展实践对该部门组织绩效的影响。该研究采用偏最小二乘结构方程建模（PLS-SEM）技术来分析和测试研究假设，同时使用SmartPLS4.0软件作为分析工具。相关数据是通过问卷从斯里兰卡投资委员会（BOI）注册的300家服装公司收集的。研究结果表明，“经济活力，道德实践，“和”社会公平“对组织绩效有重大影响，而“公司治理”和“环境绩效”影响不大。这项研究的独特发现将有助于提高组织绩效，并制定新颖的可持续未来战略，即使在恶劣的经济条件下也不限于服装行业。
