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 Global Pandemic - Covid-19, 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 organizations and individuals should take to maximise wellbeing and adjustment in these ever changing 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.
