Modern perspectives regarding organizational resilience
Modern perspectives regarding organizational resilience

Summary/Abstract: Resilience stands at the moment as a concept of increasing applicability in several research domains, all having in common the idea of analyzing the ways in which a system succeeds in remaining healthy, strong or upstanding. Whether we refer to domains such as mental health, ecology, biology or economy, resilience describes the phenomenon which allows a system – whether biological, human, or organizational – to withstand difficulty, to survive and grow while facing adversity. Hence, the present paper proposes to reflect, through a theoretical review recent works in the field, upon the organizational resilience. We intend to clarify conceptual aspects regarding the proposed subject and to draw several directions of resilience-enhancing practices that can be approached by organizational structures in order to maintain their best functioning levels.
