Resilience in Modern Day Organizations cover

This international and thought-provoking volume addresses both theoretical and conceptual issues of resilience in modern organizations, looking at areas of concern and providing suggestions for future preventative measures.

In recent years, organizations across the world have been subjected to major upheavals as several crises, including the COVID-19 pandemic, the World Economic Crisis, and the Migratory Crisis, have contributed to the changing landscape of work. Individuals, organizations, and societies have been forced to re-think, re-adjust, and re-align in the face of adversity. The “survivors” of such upheavals are those who come to grips with the new realities of our times and encompass resilience in its entirety. This timely collection assesses resilience on critically important variables, such as socio-economic status, occupational type, and gender differences, and highlights preventative measures that organizations and individuals should take to maximise wellbeing and adjustment in these everchanging and challenging times.

Essential reading for students, scholars, practitioners, and policy makers, this volume sheds light on the multi-faceted ways to enhance the resilience paradigm and offers insights into implications for future research in the area.

"On the heels of a world-wide pandemic when both individuals and organizations are dealing with economic upheaval and uncertainty, a reconsideration of the notion of resilience is both important and timely. In Resilience in Modern Day Organizations, the editors have produced such a review. The international slate of chapter authors consider the nature and effects of resilience at different levels of the organization, apply these considerations to specific occupations and occupational contexts and conclude by pointing to the implications of their review for individuals, organizations and researchers. The book will be a welcome addition to the library of anyone interested in fostering healthy workplaces and resilience in organizations."
