Activating Ambidexterity through Strategic Agility and Resilience: An Organizational Development Perspective in Agribusiness Supply Chains.

This study seeks to substantiate the assertion that organizational performance in agribusiness supply chains canbe improved through the activation of dynamic internal capabilities. Adopting a capability-based framework, the researchexamines the sequential role of ambidexterity, strategic agility, and resilience in enhancing supply chain performance. Aquantitative explanatory design was employed using Covariance-Based Structural Equation Modeling (CB-SEM), withdata collected through structured questionnaires from 143 millennial coffee farmers in West Java, Indonesia.Background: Supply chains in smallholder agribusinesses such as those managed by millennial coffee farmers in West Javaface increasing uncertainty due to climate volatility, market fragmentation, and operational constraints. These challengesdemand the development of dynamic internal capabilities to enhance supply chain performance. Purpose: This study aimsto examine how ambidexterity capability, defined as the simultaneous pursuit of exploration and exploitation, contributesto supply chain performance through the mediating roles of strategic agility and supply chain resilience.Objectives: Aquantitative explanatory approach using Covariance-Based Structural Equation Modeling (CB-SEM) was applied toanalyze data from 143 millennial coffee farmers. Findings: Results show that ambidexterity significantly enhances strategicagility, which subsequently improves resilience and supply chain performance. The direct effect of ambidexterity onresilience was not significant, confirming agility’s role as a critical mediating capability. The model demonstrates good fitand explains 49.6% of the variance in performance.Conclusion: This research highlights that internal capabilities must beactivated sequentially from ambidexterity through agility and resilience to yield meaningful supply chain outcomes.Practical implications emphasize the importance of agility-building strategies to strengthen resilience and support superiorperformance in agricultural supply chains.
