Abstract
This study explored the effect of enterprise resilience on the performance of listed manufacturing companies in Nigeria. Specifically, it analyzed the effect of innovativeness on organizational performance and evaluated how organizational learning impacts performance outcomes. A survey research design was employed for the study. The target population comprised all 157-management staff from the headquarters of the eleven (11) listed manufacturing companies in Nigeria. Given the relatively small and accessible population, the study adopted a census sampling technique, administering structured questionnaires to all eligible respondents. The instrument utilized a five-point Likert scale ranging from strongly agree to strongly disagree. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). Findings showed that innovativeness exerts a significant positive influence on organizational performance, while organizational learning has a significant negative effect. Based on these findings, the study recommends that manufacturing firms strengthen their innovative capacity by supporting new ideas, leveraging technology, and investing in continuous improvement initiatives. Additionally, firms should re-assess and restructure their organizational learning processes to ensure they are purpose-driven, strategically aligned, and effectively contribute to enhancing overall performance.
