Abstract
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has underlined the significant role of resilient leadership in the recovery of the hotel business. However, few multi-level investigations have been performed on the effects of resilient leadership on the consequential variables. This study proposes a perspective of resilient leadership to theorize employee variables (i.e. employee resilience capability and belief restoration) and team variables (i.e., adaptation strategies) on hotel performance of employees and teams. The research sample consists of 210 teams of total 793 employees from Taiwanese tourist hotels. The data are analyzed using SEM and HLM. The analytical results indicate that resilient leadership influences adaptation strategies, team performance and employee resilience capability. This study identifies the cross-level moderating effect of adaptation strategies as affecting the relationship between employee resilience capability and belief restoration. Finally, this study performs a multi-level investigation to identify the mechanism of the relationship between resilient leadership and hotel performance.
