| Abstract | This research aimed to investigate the role of community resilience in the relationship between business continuity management and organizational resilience, using the case study of the 2011 Ayutthaya (Thailand) flooding, which led to a significant impact on regional industry.To complete this research, a quantitative research design was used. A firm-level survey of private industrial firms in Ayutthaya Province (n = 211) was conducted. Variables included three clusters of business continuity management practices, community resilience, and organizational resilience. The data were then analyzed using descriptive statistics and structural equation modelling. The results showed that business continuity management practices contributed to organizational resilience. There were also interaction effects between community resilience and business continuity management practices, indicating that community resilience moderated the effect of business continuity management practices on organizational resilience following the floods.The study is the first to test the role of community resilience in the effectiveness of business continuity management practices on organizational resilience. This contributes to the research by providing a better explanation of how communities and organizations interact in organizational disaster response. The study only investigated a single context of disaster response (firms previously affected by the 2011 Ayutthaya flooding). The research focuses on industrial manufacturing and service firms and does not include retail firms. The research was conducted in historic perspective.Development of organizational resilience is affected by community resilience. Therefore, supporting community resilience through infrastructure, institutions, and other mechanisms is key for post-disaster economic recovery. This provides a further reason for developing community resilience. |
