Abstract: Abstract Construction projects are vulnerable to sudden crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Hence, many construction companies are increasingly realizing the importance of project resilience. However, most of the current studies have remained on the organizational resilience level, and there is a lack of research on project resilience. This study develops a theoretical model to explore the relationships among inter-organizational activities, organizational crisis awareness, organizational crisis response, and project resilience in the context of COVID-19 pandemic; and empirically tests the proposed model using data collected from 98 projects during the pandemic. Results show that inter-organizational activity is an important factor affecting project resilience. Meanwhile, organizational crisis awareness and organizational crisis response play important mediating roles. This paper reveals the significance of inter-organizational activities in improving project resilience and provides a new perspective for further exploring project resilience. It also helps construction enterprises formulate additional appropriate strategies to deal with sudden crises in the post-pandemic era.
