The Impact of McKinsey 7S on Business Resilience

The Mediating Role of Agile Responsiveness

Abstract

This study examines the influence of McKinsey 7S organizational alignment on Business Resilience through Agile Responsiveness as a mediating variable. Using a quantitative approach, data from 385 managerial respondents in Indonesian manufacturing companies were analyzed through regression and path analysis using SPSS. Findings reveal significant positive relationships between McKinsey 7S and Agile Responsiveness (β = 0.565), McKinsey 7S and Business Resilience (β = 0.547), and Agile Responsiveness and Business Resilience (β = 0.594), all at p < 0.001. The estimated indirect effect (0.179) suggests a potential mediating role of Agile Responsiveness, although its statistical significance requires further testing. These findings highlight the complementary contributions of organizational alignment and adaptive capability to business resilience. The study contributes an integrated empirical perspective linking internal organizational coherence, agile responsiveness, and resilience performance in manufacturing organizations.
