Abstract

Under the context of global uncertainty and energy transitions, enhancing ESG performance has become a strategic imperative for new energy vehicle (NEV) enterprises to gain long-term competitive advantage. However, how organizational resilience (OR) enhance ESG performance and what its boundary conditions are remain underexplored. Therefore, using Chinese listed NEV enterprises from 2016 to 2023 as examples, this study explores the impact of organizational resilience on ESG performance. The empirical results show that: (1) Organizational resilience exerts a significant positive impact on NEV firms’ ESG performance. (2) AI negatively moderates the relationship between organizational resilience and ESG performance while innovation network embeddedness positively moderates this relationship. (3) The positive effect of organizational resilience on ESG performance is more pronounced in non-state-owned NEV enterprises and under conditions of high environmental uncertainty. These findings guide NEV enterprises to enhance ESG performance through targeted resilience-building, rational AI deployment, and optimized innovation network embeddedness.
