Abstract :Purpose - Despite extensive interests in the effect of organizational ambidexterity on firm performance, there has been limited research on how ambidexterity may promote organizational resilience. Thus, grounded on the dynamic capabilities theory, this paper investigates the influence of ambidexterity on organizational resilience. Methodology - This study follows a quantitative method. Using a multi-item survey instrument, a total of 323 questionnaires were distributed among 80 different organizations in Kazakhstan. The collected data were analysed using Spearman`s rank correlation coefficient, in order to determine the relationship existing between the variables. Findings- The proposed link between organizational ambidexterity and resilience was found. There was a moderate, positive monotonic correlation between ambidexterity and resilience. Conclusion – Organizations operating in a turbulent and dynamic than ever before environment should adopt exploitative and explorative strategies in order to remain resilient.
