Abstract

Purpose

This study aims to investigate the impact of digital orientation (DO) on organizational resilience (OR) and explore the contingency effects of human resource slack and nature of enterprise ownership.

Design/methodology/approach

The model hypotheses were tested using fixed effects regression on panel data collected from Chinese A-share listed manufacturing firms spanning from 2007 to 2020.

Findings

DO has a positive effect on OR. Human resource slack positively moderates the relationship between DO and OR. Additionally, DO enhances OR more effectively in non-state-owned firms than in state-owned firms.

Research limitations/implications

This study relies on data from a single industry from a single country.

Practical implications

The study supports that firms facing uncertainty, risk and pressure should promptly develop their DO strategy. Firms can derive greater resilience from implementing a DO strategy when they have a high-level human resource pool. State-owned enterprises will benefit from a DO strategy if they make some adaptive changes in leadership, structure, culture and mindset aspects.

Originality/value

This study is the first to examine the relationship between DO and OR, contributing to the existing literature on digital transformation and organizational resilience. It offers valuable insights for practitioners and policymakers seeking to adapt their organizations for the digital era and foster predictive, defensive and growth responses strategies in a dynamic business environment.

数字导向对组织复原力的影响：动态能力视角

目的本研究旨在探讨数字化导向（DO）对组织复原力（OR）的影响，并探讨人力资源松弛和企业所有权性质的权变效应。研究采用固定效应回归法对模型假设进行了检验。人力资源松弛正向调节指定经营活动与指定经营活动之间的关系。研究局限性/启示本研究依赖于来自单一国家单一行业的数据。当企业拥有高水平的人力资源储备时，就能通过实施指定经营战略获得更强的应变能力。国有企业如果能在领导力、结构、文化和思维方式等方面做出一些适应性改变，就能从 DO 战略中获益。原创性/价值本研究首次考察了 DO 与 OR 之间的关系，为现有关于数字化转型和组织复原力的文献做出了贡献。它为从业人员和决策者提供了宝贵的见解，帮助他们调整组织以适应数字化时代，并在动态的商业环境中促进预测、防御和增长应对战略。
