ABSTRACT
This study investigated the relationship between Public Private Parnership and Organizational Resilience (measured by risk management, adaptive governance, and learning capacity) of Commercial Banks in South-South Nigeria. Grounded in dynamic capabilities, agency, and network theories, the study adopted a positivist paradigm, employing a cross-sectional survey of 78 managers from 26 banks via census sampling. Primary data collected through validated questionnaires (Cronbach’s alpha >0.7) were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Spearman’s correlation. Results revealed very strong positive relationships between Public Private Parnership and resilience (rho=0.984). The study concludes that Public Private Parnership is pivotal to enhancing bank resilience, recommending policies to formalize partnership frameworks. Policymakers should prioritize regulatory reforms to accelerate Public Private Parnership implementation, while banks should invest in monitoring tools to evaluate partnership efficacy. These measures are critical for sustaining resilience in Nigeria’s dynamic financial sector.
