Let $G$ be a finite group, $p$ the smallest prime dividing the order of $G$ and $P$ a Sylow $p$-subgroup of $G$ with the smallest generator number $d$. There is a set ${ℳ}_d\left(P\right)=\{P_1,P_2,\cdots ,P_d\}$ of maximal subgroups of $P$ such that ${\bigcap }_{i=1}^d{P}_i=\Phi \left(P\right)$. In the present paper, we investigate the structure of a finite group under the assumption that every member of ${ℳ}_d\left(P\right)$ is either $s$-permutably embedded or weakly $s$-permutable in $G$ to give criteria for a group to be $p$-supersolvable or $p$-nilpotent.
