Summary: This research examines the impact of managerial and firm level attributes on the relationship between financial resources (FR) and sustainability performance in SMEs in emerging economies. The study uses SmartPLS to analyze data from 611 Pakistani SMEs. The results show that the positive relationship between FR and sustainability performance is strengthened by managerial attributes (experience and education) and firm level attribute (size), but not affected by manager age and firm age. The study suggests that SMEs should focus on experienced and educated managers to effectively utilize their financial resources for sustainable activities. This research contributes to the resource base view and upper echelon literature through empirical evidence and provides implications for policymakers and businesses.
