Özet
Research background and purpose: This study investigates the mediating role of organizational resilience in the relationship between innovation climate and product innovation within companies operating in the chemical sector in Design/methodology/approach: Employing a cross-sectional design and quantitative research methods, data were collected from 311 participants through a survey technique. The data were analyzed using SPSS, AMOS, and PROCESS Macro software. Findings: The findings indicate that the innovation climate has a significant and positive impact on both organizational resilience and product innovation. Furthermore, organizational resilience was found to play a statistically significant mediating role in the relationship between innovation climate and product innovation. These results suggest that fostering an innovative climate not only enhances an organization's product development capabilities but also strengthens its ability to withstand crises-positioning resilience as a supportive factor in driving product innovation. Value added and limitations: This research contributes to the theoretical literature while offering strategic insights for practitioners. In particular, within the highly dynamic chemical industry, it is essential for managers to promote open communication, cultivate a learning-oriented culture, and establish flexible organizational structures to reinforce both innovation and resilience concurrently.
