This paper used secondary data obtained from the content analysis of annual reports and Datastream of 140 samples listed on Bursa Malaysia for the period of 2008-2018 and used the WLS and OLS regressions. The results show that there is a positive relationship among SD and its determinants (energy, general public, product, and employee) with OP. To the knowledge of the reviewers, this paper has a significant impact in terms of SD in organizations in Bursa Malaysia.
