Abstract:
Resilient leadership has gained increasing importance in contemporary organizations due to rising uncertainty, complexity, and continuous change, as it plays a vital role in fostering a strong organizational culture that supports employee well-being, adaptability, and sustained performance. This study examined the impact of resilient leadership on organizational culture within the Organization for Talent and Entrepreneurship Development (OTED) in Kabul, focusing on trust and openness, communication effectiveness, employee engagement, adaptability to change, organizational commitment, and psychological safety. The findings reveal that resilient leadership has a significant and positive effect on overall organizational culture, with particularly strong relationships observed in trust and openness, communication effectiveness, employee engagement, psychological safety, and organizational commitment. Additionally, resilient leadership enhances employees’ adaptability to change and fosters a supportive environment in which individuals feel safe to express ideas, learn from mistakes, and contribute beyond formal job roles. The study concludes that resilient leadership is a critical strategic capability and recommends its integration into leadership development initiatives to strengthen organizational culture, employee engagement, and long-term organizational effectiveness.
