Abstract

Enhancing the resilience of organizations is crucial for enterprises to thrive amidst uncertainties. Given the unprecedented shifts over recent decades, understanding how to strengthen the resilience of Chinese enterprises against various unpredictable shocks has become a critical issue. Utilizing annual data from Chinese A-share listed companies spanning 2011 to 2022 and using a two-way fixed effects model, this paper empirically investigates the impact of management capabilities on organizational resilience. The results show that management capability has a significant role in promoting organizational toughness. In companies with long years of establishment and high management shareholding ratio, the role of management ability in improving the Organizational Resilience of enterprises is apparent. Enhancing management capacity can boost corporate social responsibility and corporate governance, thereby increasing the organizational resilience of enterprises. This study has positive theoretical and practical implications for corporate internal governance and is conducive to the sustainable development of enterprises. This study not only expands the theoretical exploration of the relationship between management capability and organizational resilience, but also constructs and verifies for the first time the mediating model of “management capability institutional mechanism organizational resilience”. It also provides a theoretical reference and practical inspiration for understanding how emerging economic enterprises can build dynamic resilience in institutional environments.
