Organizations today operate in an increasingly complex and turbulent world in which unexpected events are omnipresent. Thus, they need to develop resilience capabilities to manage unexpected disruptions, maintain high performance, and even thrive and grow. In research, there are preliminary indications that diversity could play an important role in...

To meet the demands caused by environmental uncertainty and increased task complexity, teams have become the central working mode in organizations. While many of those teams operate in adverse and highly volatile settings, their ability to respond to such challenges has often been considered implicitly inherent in team dynamics. Recent research pro...

The interest of organization and management researchers in the resilience concept has steadily grown in recent years. Although there is consensus about the importance of resilience in organizational contexts, many important research questions remain. For example, it is still largely unclear how resilience functions at different levels of analysis i...

Resilience is a topic of growing interest in the literature focused on organizations. There is an extensive research on resilience but it is embedded in a variety of disconnected literatures that have developed in different research fields, involving varying levels of analysis and different subconstructs. This has resulted in a general confusion su...

Recent research highlights organizational agility as a central success factor for companies operating in highly volatile environments. Although agility is a dynamic concept by nature, little attention is devoted to its temporal dynamics. To address this gap, we conceptualize organizational agility as a higher-order dynamic capability facilitated th...

Resilience attracts increasing attention across scientific domains, particularly in the context of family businesses, for which the ability to navigate adversity is pivotal for transgenerational success. This systematic literature review investigates 87 publications on organizational resilience in family businesses. Our analysis highlights four dis...

This study examines the effects of contextual dimensions and adversity types on processes for team resilience and factor underlying these processes. Based on 48 in-depth-interviews with members of 16 project teams, participants provided broad insights into the diverse ways adversities are encountered in project-based teams nested in business and ac...

Resilience generally indicates how well a system resists threats and how quickly it returns to its initial state after a disturbance (Bhamra, Dani, & Burnard, 2011). Due to its broad appeal, the term resilience has a long history and has been applied to various fields. Though its scientific roots are in the area of material science (Snowdon, 1958),...

Group and Organization Management (GOM) is going to publish a Special Issue on "Organizational Resilience: A Special Issue to Integrate and Broaden a Growing Literature Using Multi-Level Perspectives." The submission window will open on April 1, 2020 and the deadline for submission is May 15, 2020. GOM anticipates publishing this Special Issue end...

Working in projects constitutes a modern form of operational performance. Projects promote cooperation, enable a high degree of autonomy, and are thus, in contrast to Tayloristic forms of work, regarded to have rather positive impacts on the employees’ health and well-being. First studies, however, also point out pathological effects. This article...
