摘要
Dynamic capabilities research has demonstrated that businesses must adapt to changes in order to survive. The COVID-19 pandemic has put firm resilience to the test. The present study uses the dynamic-capabilities theoretical framework to shed light on the determinants of business resilience. Results from a sample of 243 full-time managers and business owners demonstrate that more agile businesses are more likely to be resilient. In addition, environmental hostility positively moderates the relationship between agility and resilience, as it was stronger with a high environmental hostility and weaker with a low environmental hostility. Digitalization also showed a positive relationship with resilience. Likewise, evidence does not support the hypothesis that digitalization moderates the positive relationship between agility and resilience, i.e., that as engagement increases, the relationship becomes stronger, possibly due to the burnout effect of digitalization. Finally, implications and future research opportunities are presented. Les recherches portant sur les capacit & eacute;s dynamiques mettent en lumi & egrave;re la n & eacute;cessit & eacute; pour les entreprises de s'adapter au changement pour assurer leur survie. En outre, la r & eacute;silience des entreprises a & eacute;t & eacute; mise & agrave; l'& eacute;preuve par la pand & eacute;mie de COVID-19. Cette & eacute;tude se base sur le cadre th & eacute;orique des capacit & eacute;s dynamiques afin d'analyser les facteurs influen & ccedil;ant la r & eacute;silience des entreprises. Les r & eacute;sultats obtenus aupr & egrave;s d'un & eacute;chantillon de 243 gestionnaires & agrave; temps plein et propri & eacute;taires d'entreprises indiquent une corr & eacute;lation entre l'agilit & eacute; des entreprises et leur r & eacute;silience. De surcro & icirc;t, les r & eacute;sultats soulignent l'impact positif et mod & eacute;rateur de l'hostilit & eacute; de l'environnement sur la relation entre l'agilit & eacute; et la r & eacute;silience, cette relation & eacute;tant renforc & eacute;e en cas d'hostilit & eacute; & eacute;lev & eacute;e et att & eacute;nu & eacute;e en cas d'hostilit & eacute; moindre. Par ailleurs, la digitalisation est & eacute;galement associ & eacute;e de mani & egrave;re positive & agrave; la r & eacute;silience des entreprises. Cependant, l'id & eacute;e selon laquelle la digitalisation pourrait mod & eacute;rer positivement la relation entre l'agilit & eacute; et la r & eacute;silience, en renfor & ccedil;ant cette derni & egrave;re dans le cas d'un fort engagement, n'a pas & eacute;t & eacute; confirm & eacute;e en raison de l'& eacute;puisement induit par la digitalisation. Enfin, des implications pratiques et des orientations pour de futures recherches sont sugg & eacute;r & eacute;es.
