Abstract:
The purpose of this research is to investigate the moderating role of absorptive capacity in the relationship
between technological resources and organizational resilience. A quantitative research approach was
employed with data collected from 251 respondents working in the software industry in Lahore using a
structured questionnaire. The questionnaire included measures of technological resources, organizational
resilience, and absorptive capacity. The data collected was analyzed by using Simple Regression Model
and CFA analysis to examine the hypothesized relationships. The findings suggest that technological
resources have a significant positive impact on both organizational resilience and absorptive capacity.
Additionally, absorptive capacity had a significant positive impact on technological resources, and
organizational resources. These results support the existing literature that absorptive capacity enhances an
organization’s ability to leverage technological resources for resilience by allowing it to anticipate,
understand, and respond to changes and disruptions in the environment. It acts as a bridge between the
possessing technological resources and using them effectively in the face of challenges. The implications
of this research are twofold, firstly it confirms that absorptive capacity is crucial for organizations, as they
can use this knowledge to develop can leverage these technological resources to improve communication,
streamline processes, and develop new products or services that meet changing market demands. This
capability enables organizations to stay abreast of technological advancements and integrate them into their
operations, thus maintaining a competitive edge
