        abstract = {Supply chain disruptions are increasing in frequency and severity, compelling organizations to treat resilience as a strategic capability rather than a reactive response. While prior research identifies multiple antecedents of supply chain resilience, there is limited empirical evidence on how operational and relational capabilities systematically integrate to generate resilience and enhance firm performance. Drawing on the Resource-Based View and Dynamic Capabilities Theory, this study develops and empirically tests a layered capability framework in which resilience emerges as a higher-order dynamic capability through structured integration of logistics, relational, and adaptive capabilities. Using survey data from manufacturing firms and structural equation modeling, the findings reveal that information management capability strengthens cooperation and coordination, which subsequently foster integrated supply chain logistics capability. Integration enhances collaboration and visibility, leading to flexibility and response velocity. These adaptive capabilities significantly contribute to supply chain resilience, which in turn positively influences firm performance. The results highlight coordination and visibility as critical structural drivers in the resilience formation process. By empirically validating a capability-layering mechanism, this study advances resilience theory beyond isolated capability perspectives and offers a comprehensive dynamic capabilities explanation for performance enhancement under disruption. The findings provide actionable insights for managers aiming to build resilient, adaptive, and competitively robust supply chains in turbulent environments.},
