The statistical population of the qualitative section: 25 experts in related fields and the statistical population of the quantitative section: managers and senior experts working in knowledge-based companies in Mashhad was 650 people, of which 240 people were selected as a statistical sample. Qualitative sampling was purposeful and in the quantitative part was simple random sampling. The data collection tool was a questionnaire. Structural equation modeling was used to test the research hypotheses.Findings: The findings indicate that the dimensions of organizational innovation ability in the direction of impact on organizational resilience were as follows: Individual dimension (0.287), structural dimension (0.189), operational dimension (0.130), innovation dimension (0.126), technology dimension (0.111), organizational dimension (0.117) and environmental dimension (0.095).Limitations and Consequences: Lack of control and study of the role of other factors affecting the model of promoting organizational innovation capabilities with organizational resilience approach in knowledge-based companies is the limitation of this research. For future research, the role of mediating variables should be carefully considered so that other relationships between variables are as clear and comprehensive as possible.Practical Implications: By having organizational innovation capabilities, knowledge-based companies can identify environmental opportunities and increase organizational resilience.Initiative or value of the article: In this study, the effect of organizational innovation capabilities on organizational resilience in knowledge-based companies is investigated.Keywords:Organizational Innovation Capabilities, Organizational Resilience, Knowledge Based Companies
