Abstract: This study examines the relationships between the public projects Critical Success Factors (CSFs) and project performance in Malaysia. In addition, this study would contribute significantly in the aspect of the CSFs integration with the Malaysia public projects performance which was explained by three dimensions: time, cost and quality. Furthermore, it was shown empirically that the 26 Critical Success Factors which were grouped into six variables were significantly relevant in predicting the project performance. Data collection was conducted through a 10-point scale survey questionnaire and using stratified random sample technique. The completed public projects in Peninsular Malaysia were used as the data resources for this research. The data gathered was screened and followed by descriptive statistics. Further on, the data was analyzed through factor analysis followed by the reliability test. Pearson correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis were applied to identify the relationship between the CSFs and the project performance. Based on this study, it was determined that critical success factors comprised of planning and networking, financial, company background, company experiences, technical equipment, and policy significantly explained the project performances which were comprised of time, cost and quality. Furthermore, an empirical equation was produced as an evidence of the predicting ability of the CSFs on the public projects’ performance.
