The Role of Employee Resilience in Driving OrganizationalExcellence: A PLS-SEM Approach

In an era marked by disruption, uncertainty, and rapid transformation, organizations can no longer rely solely on traditional strategies to ‎sustain performance. Instead, employee resilience—the capacity to adapt, recover, and thrive amid adversity—has emerged as a pivotal driver of organizational excellence. This study investigates how organizational support, transformational leadership, workplace culture, psycho-‎logical capital, and leadership development orientation shape employee resilience and, in turn, elevate organizational outcomes. Utilizing data ‎from 130 professionals and analyzed through Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM), the findings reveal that ‎leadership development, psychological capital, and a positive work environment significantly bolster resilience, while excessive organizational stress erodes it. Strikingly, transformational leadership fails to exert a direct influence, challenging conventional wisdom and emphasizing the importance of structural and developmental supports over leadership charisma alone. Despite limitations in model fit, the study ‎offers a powerful, data-backed framework for building resilient, agile, and future-ready organizations. It advances theoretical understanding ‎while providing actionable insights for leaders seeking to thrive in the face of complexity‎
