Abstract: How to build organizational resilience to adapt to the discontinuous changes in the environment and maintain the sustainable development has become a major global issue that entrepreneurial enterprises urgently need to resolve. Taking 232 entrepreneurial enterprises as samples and introducing the organizational adaptation theory into the research framework, this paper makes use of the fsQCA method to explore the“different-paths-leading-to-the-same-goal”effect of responsive market orientation, proactive market orientation, opportunity interpretation, threat interpretation, adaptive research orchestration, and transformative research orchestration on the organizational resilience of the entrepreneurial enterprises. The results show that the antecedent configurations of the organizational resilience cultivation in entrepreneurial enterprises include four models: the“orientation”driven organizational resilience cultivation pattern, the“orchestration”driven organizational resilience cultivation pattern, the“orientation-interpretation”matching driven organizational resilience cultivation pattern, and the“orientation-orchestration”matching driven organizational resilience cultivation pattern. Thus, there are differences in the components of the organizational resilience cultivation patterns. In contrast, the“orientation-orchestration”matching driven pattern plays a more universal role in promoting organizational resilience of entrepreneurial enterprises. The above findings have enriched the research perspectives, approaches and methodology of organizational resilience, as well as providing a theoretical basis for entrepreneurial enterprises to practice the adaptive concept of organizational resilience cultivation.

Key words: organizational resilience, dual market orientation, managerial interpretation, resource orchestration
