The hospitality industry faces significant challenges in achieving sustainable performance, particularly amidst a rapidly changing market and environmental uncertainties. Unfortunately, previous studies have paid limited attention to this specific aspect of performance. This study explores the antecedents – organizational resilience, dynamic capabilities, agile leadership, and organizational ambidexterity – that contribute to sustainable performance among managers in this sector. A self-administered electronic questionnaire was used to collect primary data from 210 hotel managers at various levels in Makassar, Indonesia, following a purposive sampling approach. The relationships were analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS 4.0. The results indicate that organizational resilience and agile leadership significantly influence sustainable performance, while dynamic capability and organizational ambidexterity do not show a significant impact. Furthermore, both organizational resilience and dynamic capability are significant to organizational ambidexterity, and they also significantly contribute to agile leadership. These findings illuminate the critical determinants affecting sustainable performance in the hospitality sector, providing valuable insights for practitioners and policymakers aiming to enhance sustainability practices in the industry.
