Building on a resource-dependence perspective, this study evaluates how certain investor characteristics foster organizational resilience during a crisis by preventing a relapse following recovery. Drawing on data from 2014 to 2019, we analyzed 359 firms that faced a crisis in 2015, as indicated by their Altman Z-score values. Our findings reveal that diversity and patience of investors prevent firms from relapsing into upcoming crises; however, the probability of relapse increases when concentrated investors boost the firm’s capital during the in-crisis period. We bridge the gap between the resource-dependence theory and literature on organizational resilience and contribute by extending previous analyses on the relevance of investors to recover from a crisis to identify how in-crisis investors’ features also state the foundations to avoid future relapses.}, organization = {Grant PID2019- 107767GA-I00 and Grant PID2022-138331NB-I00 funded by MICIU/AEI /10.13039/501100011033}, organization = {ERDF/UE}, organization = {Grant TED2021-129829B-I00 funded by MICIU/AEI/10.13039/5011 00011033}, organization = {European Union NextGenerationEU/PRTR}, organization = {Grant C-SEJ-069-UGR23 funded by Consejería de Universidad, Investigación e Innovación}, organization = {ERDF Andalusia Program}, publisher = {SAGE}, keywords = {Organizational resilience}, keywords = {Relapse prevention}, keywords = {Investors}, title = {Avoiding relapses after crises: Exploring the influence of firm investors’ characteristics on organizational resilience}, doi = {10.1177/23409444241243377}, author = {Mellado-Garcia, Elena and Ortiz Martínez de Mandojana, Natalia and Aragón Correa, Juan Alberto}, }
