Abstract In recent decades, economic growth in countries around the world has become increasingly dependent on the dynamism of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The success of SMEs depends on the support provided by their state. Government plays a crucial role in small- and medium-sized enterprises to boost performance and economic growth because it creates employment opportunities, poverty reduction, and economic development. The underlining study’s main objective is to examine how government support affects the sustainable competitive performance of SMEs at Perlis. Hence, small enterprises are a significant source of economic development, employment, and value creation. Therefore, based on previous literature, we developed hypotheses related to government financial support and network structure, and data collected through structured questionnaires from top management of SMEs at Perlis. The results indicate that density has a positive and significant effect on sustainable competitive performance, while centrality has an insignificant impact on sustainable competitive performance. Furthermore, government financial support strongly and significantly supports the sustainable competitive performance of SMEs.
Keywords Government support,sustainable competitive performance, employment opportunities, poverty reduction, and economic development.
