Abstract

Resilience is essential for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Eswatini to adapt and thrive amid disruptions. This study investigated the relationship between resilience and performance optimisation in SMEs. While previous research recognises the importance of resilience in overcoming organisational performance challenges, the specific mechanisms through which resilience influences performance remain underexplored. Using census sampling, data were collected from 206 owner-managers of SMEs in Manzini through a self-administered questionnaire. Cronbach’s alpha was used to test for reliability. At the same time, Pearson’s correlation coefficients were employed to examine the bivariate associations between the resilience dimensions and performance optimisation.
