Abstract

Based on sample data from A-share listed companies on the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges from 2011 to 2022, this study systematically examines the impact of new quality productive forces on organizational resilience in enterprises. The findings indicate that improvements in the level of new quality productive forces significantly enhance organizational resilience, and a robust positive correlation exists between the two. This effect is primarily realized through three mechanism pathways: alleviating financing constraints, improving investment efficiency, and promoting digital transformation. Heterogeneity analysis further reveals that the positive impact of new quality productive forces on organizational resilience is more pronounced among state-owned enterprises, large-scale enterprises, and enterprises located in regions with a well-developed technology market. This study adopts a micro-level perspective to explore how new quality productive forces affect organizational resilience at the enterprise level, enriching the relevant research in this domain. It provides both theoretical guidance and practical pathways for enhancing organizational resilience and offers scientific evidence and practical references for government policy-making aimed at supporting the development of new quality productive forces and strengthening enterprise resilience.
