RESILIENCE OF INDONESIAN SMES: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW AND AGENDA FOR FUTURE RESEARCH

Abstract

This study systematically reviews the literature on the resilience of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Indonesia to provide a comprehensive understanding of theoretical foundations, variables, and research trends. Using data from the Web of Science and Scopus databases, 114 relevant articles were selected and analyzed through a content analysis approach. The study adopts the AMO (Antecedents, Mediators, Moderators, Outcomes) framework to identify key themes, research gaps, and propose future research directions. Findings indicate that most studies are quantitative, relying on survey data analyzed with PLS-SEM, while qualitative approaches remain limited. Commonly used theories include the Resource-Based View, Dynamic Capabilities View, Theory of Planned Behaviour, and Technology-Organisation-Environment framework, emphasizing internal capabilities, adaptability, and contextual factors. Research has predominantly focused on antecedents such as innovation capability and strategic orientation, and outcomes like performance and crisis resilience, with limited attention to mediating and moderating variables. This review offers valuable insights for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners by proposing an integrative conceptual model of SME resilience and highlighting future research opportunities to enhance SME resilience in the Indonesian context.
