Abstract Family firms are often recognized as wealthy in resources, especially in operant resources. These resources are hidden and play a phenomenal role in sustainable development. Fewer studies are available to spotlight the role of operant resources. This study aims to surface the magnificent hidden role of agile operant resources that facilitate the diverse needs of stakeholders in family firms. Data for this study were collected using in-depth interviews with complementary observations. Almost 29 interviews were considered with the owners of family firms from Pakistan. Interviews were translated and transcribed. Gioia Methodology is used to develop broader themes for discussion in terms of first-order concepts, themes and aggregate dimension that explained the mystical hidden role of agile operant resources in family firms. Research findings portrayed that Collaborative Capability, Reputational Resources, Religious Resources and Relationship Proneness are the agile operant resources which strengthen stakeholder's partnership in family businesses. The authors proposed a conceptual model for highlighting the pertinent role of agile operant resources that facilitate stakeholder partnership in family-owned businesses (FOBs). Recent study provides the conceptual framework to academia for future research in the literature of family firms. FOBs may adopt all these agile operant resources to cater firm diverse stakeholder partnerships in today's business world. It will open new avenues of growth and innovation for FOBs. This research can apply to all FOBs.
