Research on Impact Mechanism of Organizational Resilience on Sustainable Competitive Advantage of Enterprises

Abstract

This study is the first to comprehensively investigate the impact mechanism of organizational resilience on the sustainable competitive advantage of enterprises based on dynamic capability theory, social network theory, and resource dependence theory. It systematically analyzes the multidimensional effects of organizational resilience and reveals the moderating effect of the network digital atmosphere and environmental dynamism on strategic capabilities. Herein, six basic hypotheses and 19 sub-hypotheses are proposed. Through the analyses of 386 valid questionnaires in the Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta regions, the results show that organizational resilience has a positive impact on the sustainable competitive advantage of enterprises, and strategic capability plays a mediating role through two dimensions, which are strategic formulation capability and resource integration capability. In addition, the network digital atmosphere and environmental dynamics regulate the relationship between organizational resilience and strategic capability in different dimensions. The research results provide empirical support for strengthening corporate strategic capabilities, responding to environmental changes, maintaining competitive advantages, and achieving the sustainable development of enterprises.
