Abstract

This study aims to clarify the mediating role of absorptive capacity in the relationship between organizational orientation specifically, technology opportunism and change orientation and operational performance, while also exploring the moderating role of organizational ambidexterity (encompassing exploration and exploitation orientation) on absorptive capacity and organization operational performance. Data were sourced from 265 managers across diverse industries in Malaysia, revealing a statistically significant mediating effect of absorptive capacity on the relationship between organizational orientation and operational performance. Moreover, organizational ambidexterity was found to statistically support the moderating effects on the relationship between absorptive capacity and operational performance. This research examines the interplay between various dimensions of organizational orientation and ambidexterity with respect to absorptive capacity and operational performance, thereby adding valuable insights to the extant literature in the field.
