Abstract: This article aims to answer the question how global performance influences organisational legitimacy in the context of social and solidarity economy organisations, in this case, cooperatives. In this perspective, we proceed, first, by a literature review drawing up the inventory of the two concepts allowing the development of a conceptual model. This model is then validated on the basis of an empirical study, carried out using a quantitative approach, and carried out among cooperatives located in the Agadir Ida Outanane prefecture (Morocco) to verify the existence of a link between their global performance and their organisational legitimacy. The data collected is processed using the method of structural equations explaining the causal relationships between the dimensions of the two variables studied. The results affirm the significant and positive impact between the two dimensions in the structures studied.
