Abstract

If entrepreneurs have higher psychological resilience, can their ventures also increase organizational resilience and achieve higher corporate performance? In this study, we explore the factors that boost venture firm performance from the perspective of resilience in entrepreneurship. Specifically, we theorize the serial mediating effects of entrepreneurs’ networking capacity and organizations’ absorptive capacity between entrepreneur’s psychological resilience and organizational resilience, which ultimately leads to firm performance. The results of our empirical analysis using data from 175 entrepreneurs in Japan during a period when the aftereffects of COVID-19 remained strong in small and medium-sized firms support our theoretical model. This study contributes to a better understanding of resilience in entrepreneurship.
