Corporate Governance, Agricultural Cooperative, Organizacional ResilienceAbstract
This study aims to verify the causal conditions of corporate governance mechanisms of cooperatives that affect organizational resilience. Among the various forms of business, it is found that cooperative organizations appear to be more resilient in times of crisis and uncertainty, when compared to others. However, their survival is by no means guaranteed, as this model is complex and presents ambiguous objectives. In this regard, this study focuses on the relationship between corporate governance in cooperatives and organizational resilience. To this end, a survey was applied in cooperatives in the condition of continued and discontinued and the QCA analysis technique was used. Our findings suggest that the participation of cooperative members in assemblies and the qualification of the fiscal council are the main aspects for explaining organizational resilience.
