Abstract
In the context of accelerating digital transformation, enterprises face rapidly changing market environments and external shocks. Organizational resilience, as a key ability to cope with uncertainty, changes, and crises, has increasingly gained attention from both academia and practice. This study aims to explore the mechanisms of organizational resilience formation in the context of digital transformation. First, the paper reviews the theories of digital transformation and organizational resilience, proposing the hypothesis that digital transformation enhances organizational resilience through technological innovation, organizational change, and cultural shaping. Then, based on empirical research, the study analyzes the digital transformation status and resilience characteristics of multiple enterprises, verifying the significant impact of digital transformation on organizational resilience. The study finds that digital transformation significantly improves enterprises’ adaptability, innovation ability, and crisis response capacity, but the paths and effects vary across different types of enterprises. Finally, the paper summarizes the pathways through which digital transformation enhances organizational resilience and offers corresponding management suggestions. The research indicates that when undergoing digital transformation, enterprises should adopt a comprehensive approach to enhance resilience through the synergistic effects of technology, management, and culture, thereby strengthening competitiveness and sustainable development.
