Abstract

In order to sustain organizational growth amidst a volatile environment, organizations need to establish robust systems for innovation and adaptation to withstand threats and stressors, such as anti-fragility. The COVID-19 pandemic, often referred to as a “Black Swan Event” by some scientists, has upended the traditional business landscape, ushering in a new normal that has proven challenging for some organizations to navigate, while others have been able to innovate in the face of unprecedented disruption. This study aims to explore the relationship between transformational leadership behavior (TLB) and organizational innovation performance, with moderation by two lesser-explored constructs: cynicism about organizational change (CAOC) and the anti-fragile personality, within the context of the Black Swan COVID-19 scenario. Employing qualitative research methodology, the study investigates the interplay between TLB and Innovation Performance (IP), with moderation by CAOC and The Anti-Fragile Mutawakkil Personality (TAMP). The data for this study were purposively gathered from Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Wonosobo Regency. The findings of this research offer valuable insights for MSMEs to formulate appropriate strategies amidst the challenges of a “Black Swan Event,” enabling them to survive, innovate, and sustain the growth of their businesses.
