| Summary: | This theoretical essay seeks to shed light on and synthesise the concept
of resilience in relation to employees and organisations and to propose
an integrated analysis model. The results include a research agenda
embracing methodological aspects and thematic connections, which
can contribute to an expanded debate on the construct of resilience
that involves differentiated levels of analysis. A historic review of the
concept’s discussion and its specificities are presented, including the
following organisational resilience constructs. The first is the
procedural, dynamic and ecosystemic capacity activated by people (i.e.
individual resilience) and processes (i.e. systemic resilience) in the face
of adversity. The second is the generation of responses that facilitate
the recovery of balance. The last construct is healthy adaptation
through key elements’ activation through subjective (i.e. internal) and
objective (i.e. external) plans, which can be reinforced or renewed
during the entire process. This approach thus ensures the sustainability
of resilience-related results and/or the expansion of individuals and
organisations’ capacity for resilience. |
