description Globally, the barriers to the sharing economy are significant. They present a hurdle to attaining sustainable development goals (SDGs) and require the focus of policymakers and researchers. Hence, this article investigates the influence of removing economic, social and technical barriers on the achievement of SDGs. A supportive organizational climate is considered as a mediator, and its impact on the link between removing economic, social and technical barriers and SDG achievement in the tourism industry of ASEAN countries is examined. Adapted questionnaires are used to gather data from respondents, and Smart-PLS is applied to analyse the data. The findings show that removing economic, social and technical barriers positively influences the achievement of SDGs. The results also indicate that a supportive organizational climate positively and significantly mediates the association between removing economic, social and technical barriers, and the achievement of SDGs. The current research provides guidelines for regulators developing policies related to SDG achievement by removing the economic, social and technical barriers to the sharing economy.
