The Impact of Supply Chain Risk Management on Organizational Resilience: The Mediating Role of Resource Reconfiguration

Abstract

This paper explores how supply chain risk management (SCRM) enhances organizational resilience (OR) in manufacturing enterprises through resource reconfiguration. In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and rising political and economic uncertainties, manufacturing firms face severe supply chain disruptions. Based on dynamic capability theory, the study analyzes the relationship between SCRM, resource reconfiguration (RR), and OR, highlighting RR as a key mediator. Empirical analysis of 266 Chinese manufacturing firms reveals that risk identification, control, and mitigation promote RR, thus boosting resilience, while risk assessment is less effective. The study underscores that resource reconfiguration is crucial for dynamic adjustments and sustaining a competitive advantage. This research contributes to dynamic capability and supply chain resilience literature with both theoretical and practical implications.
