Organizational resilience is a complex, strategic question that still lacks a clear answer, in particular relating to whether and how it is beneficial for the competitive advantage of a family business. We define organizational resilience of a family business as a dynamic, ambidextrous capability to recover from and positively adjust to an unexpected, adverse situation. In this study, using the strategic management theoretical background, we link organizational resilience to the competitive advantage of family businesses. We test this conjecture using data from 193 Polish small and medium-sized manufacturing family businesses. Drawing on these findings, we conceptualize organizational resilience along two dimensions: community robustness and creative agility identified as a key duality of organizational resilience in the context of family businesses. Results demonstrate that ambidextrous organizational resilience is positively correlated with the competitive advantage of a family business. We discuss the contribution of the theory of ambidexterity and dynamic capabilities to the understanding of organizational resilience, as well as the implications of the latter for the creation of competitive advantage by a family.

Odporność organizacyjna jest złożonym, strategicznym zjawiskiem. W szczególności, istotną kwestią jest odpowiedź na pytania, czy i w jaki sposób wpływa ona na przewagę konkurencyjną. Na potrzeby artykułu odporność organizacyjną zdefiniowano jako dynamiczną, obustronną zdolność przedsiębiorstwa do dostosowywania się do nieprzewidzianych przeciwności i regenerowania się po nich. W badaniach, wykorzystując teorię zarządzania strategicznego, założono, że odporność organizacyjna jest powiązana z przewagą konkurencyjną przedsiębiorstwa rodzinnego. Hipoteza ta została poddana badaniu na danych z 193 małych i średnich polskich przedsiębiorstw rodzinnych. W oparciu o analizę literatury skonceptualizowano odporność organizacyjną jako dynamiczną zdolność do godzenia sprzeczności pomiędzy odpornością społeczną i twórczą zwinnością. Wyniki wskazują, że obustronna odporność organizacyjna jest pozytywnie powiązana z przewagą konkurencyjną przedsiębiorstwa rodzinnego. W artykule przedyskutowano wkład teorii obustronności i dynamicznych zdolności do pojmowania odporności organizacyjnej oraz wpływ tak rozumianej odporności na osiąganie przewagi konkurencyjnej w przedsiębiorstwach rodzinnych.
