Background and Purpose: Business resilience depends on the ability to gather and process resources to handle environmental uncertainty. Enterprises should use information, knowledge, experiences, and other resources to build resilience. This study applies the concept of dynamic capability to assess the impact of Information Technology Capabilities (ITCs) on Indonesian SOEs and their subsidiaries. Additionally, this study investigates Leadership Capabilities (LCs) as a mediator between Information Technology Capabilities (ITCs) and Enterprise Resilience (ER).
Methodology: The study examined 322 valid data from online surveys using questionnaires to Indonesia SOEs and their subsidiaries’ board of directors and senior management. The data was analysed using SmartPLS 3.
Findings: The research demonstrates that information technology capabilities (ITCs) enhance Enterprise Resilience (ER). Leadership Capabilities (LCs) improved the enterprise's resiliency. The relationship between Information Technology Capabilities (ITCs) and Enterprise Resilience (ER) is mediated through Leadership capabilities (LCs).
Contributions: The findings may expand the scope of dynamic capability theory to include resilience. The findings extend the methodology by adopting a quantitative and online survey of SOEs in emerging countries and demonstrate to SOE management and regulators that ER can be fostered by strengthening dynamic capabilities and risk management practices. The findings recommend that policymakers develop a road map, scenario, and strategies to ensure the long-term viability of SOEs.
Keywords: Dynamic capabilities, enterprise resilience, Indonesia, information technology capabilities, leadership capabilities, state-owned enterprises.
