  ABSTRACT: Entrepreneurship and organizational resilience are two crucial areas of research in the field of management and organizational studies. Despite the potential linkages between EO, organizational reconfiguration, absorptive capability, and resilience, few studies have examined these relationships simultaneously, especially among Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). This study addresses this gap by examining the mediating role of organisational reconfiguration and absorptive capability in the relationship between EO and organisational resilience. The study findings revealed that entrepreneurial orientation dimensions have a significant and positive impact on organizational resilience. This study highlights the importance of entrepreneurial orientation for organizational resilience among SMEs in Ghana. The results suggest that SMEs that are more entrepreneurial are better equipped to adapt to changes in the market, take calculated risks, be proactive, and seek new opportunities. The mediating analysis outcome indicates absorptive capabilities can fully mediate the association between entrepreneurial orientation and organizational resilience. However, organizational reconfiguration had no mediating effect on the association between entrepreneurial orientation and organizational resilience.
