Abstract

Given that Iran's banking system is under pressure from sanctions and economic threats, enhancing the resilience of state-owned banks as key players becomes particularly important. Accordingly, this study aims to design a local model of organizational wisdom and explain its role in strengthening banks' resilience against economic shocks and disruptions. This study employs an exploratory mixed-methods approach. In the qualitative phase, utilizing the grounded theory method, data obtained from semi-structured interviews with academic experts and senior bank managers were analyzed and coded using MAXQDA software. To test the extracted conceptual model, the quantitative phase employed confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling using the partial least squares approach (PLS-SEM).
The findings indicate that organizational wisdom significantly enhances the organizational resilience of state-owned banks through pathways such as strengthening organizational learning, improving decision-making quality, enhancing risk management, and increasing cultural cohesion. The final model confirms the key role of wise leadership, secure information technology infrastructure, and a learning organizational culture as the main antecedents of organizational wisdom. The proposed model can be applied as a practical framework for improving banks' readiness and operational sustainability in the face of economic threats.
