Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to understand the conditions that influence family CEOs’ resilience in times of crisis. Drawing upon social cognitive theory and adopting a fsQCA analytic approach, the article analyzes data from 67 family businesses. The findings show that CEO resilience emerges from the interplay of different sets of conditions in single- and multi-generational family businesses. The study makes the contribution that CEO resilience is contingent on dynamics at individual, family, and business levels, suggesting that CEO resilience in crisis times reflects a “crisis bricolage” of “making do” with resources that are “in hand” and “within reach”.
