Popis: Abstract This research explores the synergistic relationship between sustainable development goals (SDGs) and employee well-being in Malaysian small and medium enterprises (SMEs). We delve into the impact of perceived organizational support (POS), thriving organizational culture, strong organizational commitment, and high-level job satisfaction on achieving ambitious goals like SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production and SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth. By unleashing the potential of their workforce, Malaysian SMEs can chart a course towards a greener future, fostering sustainable practices and empowering employees to thrive in the process. This research showed that POS for talent was favorably correlated with organizational culture, based on a survey of 599 employees in Malaysia. Furthermore, there were strong links between organizational culture and job satisfaction, as well as between organizational culture and organizational commitment.
