Abstract: Abstract This study examines the influence of Blockchain technology utilization (BTU), industrial internet-of-things (IoT), and resource-based management initiatives (RBMI) on innovation performance with the mediating role of organizational resilience in light of the resource-based view (RBV). Moreover, risk-taking tolerance is used as a moderator between organizational resilience and innovation performance. The Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) technique was used to analyze the results. A simple random sampling technique was used to collect data from respondents. A total of 437 questionnaires were collected from the Pakistani automotive industry and used for final analysis. The finding reveals that industrial IoT and RBMI positively relate to organizational resilience and innovation performance. In contrast, BTU does not influence innovation performance but positively influences organizational resilience. Organizational resilience positively related to innovation performance. Organizational resilience significantly mediates between BTU, industrial IoT, RBMI, and innovation performance. Finally, risk-taking tolerance strengthens the relationship between organizational resilience and innovation performance. This research focuses on how management utilizes BTU, industrial IoT, RBMI, organizational resilience, and risk-taking tolerance in decision-making to examine innovation performance. This research initially develops a research model to incorporate BTU, industrial IoT, RBMI, organizational resilience, risk-taking tolerance, and innovation performance in RBV perspectives. Academicians, practitioners, and management can benefit from study results.
