Abstract Under uncertain circumstances, how to better respond to challenges and seize opportunities has become a key issue for enterprises. The concepts of "resiliency" and " boundary-spanning search" are introduced to answer this question from the perspective of resources and dynamic capabilities. Based on 278 questionnaires and regression analysis of gazelle enterprises, it was found that boundary-spanning search and resiliency could significantly improve enterprise performance. Boundary-spanning search is conducive to the improvement and cultivation of organizational resiliency, but environmental uncertainty negatively regulates the relationship between them. Organizational resiliency can further promote performance improvement by transforming resources used in cross-border search into capabilities, that is, there is a mediating effect between them. The research results provide some ideas for enterprises to cope with environmental uncertainty and provide an explanation path for enterprises to better improve their dynamic nature, build more flexible organizations and have stronger resiliency.
