Abstract	The increasing complexity of supply chains as well as a strong focus on operational efficiency resulted in supply chains which are increasingly prone and vulnerable to disruptions. As a result, the concept of supply chain resilience, which is the ability of a supply chain to resist external shocks and return quickly to its desired state, emerged. This research explores the resilience domain by investigating the effects relational competencies have on supply chain resilience and performance. We distinguish between a proactive and reactive dimension of resilience: robustness and agility. Survey data from Thai manufacturing companies are collected and the conceptual framework is preliminary tested using exploratory factor analysis. The paper contributes in terms of proposing and preliminary testing the conceptual model linking antecedents and consequences of a firm’s supply chain resilience. It extends the theoretical models and frameworks of previous researchers by incorporating the influence of supply chain strategies. It also provides an explicit distinction between agility and robustness and the influence of these dimensions on the performance of the supply chain. By assessing the impact certain organizational capabilities have on the resilience of a supply chain, practitioners will be able to understand how to establish a more resilient supply chain.
