The future of organizations under changing environmental conditions: Resilient organizations from a resilience perspective

Year 2025, Volume: 12 Issue: 1, 72 - 78, 31.03.2025

Abstract

This study presents a conceptual framework that reveals that organizational resilience plays a central role in building the foundation of resilient organizations by considering the effects of changing environmental conditions on organizations. Unexpected events and sudden environmental changes can significantly surprise organizations. For example, natural events, political upheavals, epidemics, socio-cultural transformations and workplace accidents can lead to major ecological and economic consequences. This situation forces organizations to be resilient. Based on this, the aim of the study is to conceptualize the concept of resilience based on the resource-based approach and to reveal that organizational resilience capacity (ORC) has a central role in building the foundation of resilient organizations (RO). Because the ability of organizations to take specific, strong and transforming actions when faced with unexpected and challenging situations that may endanger their long-term survival is the expression of organizational resilience. Organizations that can use this potential are defined as resilient. In this context, a literature review on ORC and RO was conducted and the relationship between ORC and RO was explained at a conceptual level. In the study, it was concluded that ORC is critical in building RO.
