Abstract

Generative AI knowledge bases (Gen AI-KB) are changing the strategies of companies that want to assert themselves in the age of Industry 5.0. But how can firms effectively utilise these advanced resources to strengthen their resilience and achieve superior performance levels? Based on the knowledge-based view (KBV), this study examines the mediating role of organisational resilience in the relationship between Gen AI-KB, intellectual capital, and organisational competitiveness and creative performance. The analysis of data from 279 Turkish manufacturing firms, using structural equation modelling (SEM), shows that both Gen AI-KB and intellectual capital significantly increase resilience, forging an important link between internal knowledge assets and firm performance. Multi-group analysis has shown that geographical contexts, such as the urban-rural divide, can significantly influence these dynamics. The findings of this study highlight the potential that generative AI and intellectual capital have to promote resilience and innovation, allowing firms to capitalise on the opportunities presented by Industry 5.0.
