Workforce Resilience: Integrative Review for Human Resource Development

Abstract

Resilience is a concept of growing interest in the modern workplace. Multiple stakeholders, including policy makers, organizational leaders, human-resource professionals, and employees discuss resilience as an essential element needed to effectively deal with unexpected and mind-boggling changes that riddle the current workplace. These collective interests are commonly known as workforce resilience. However, there is a lack of consensus as to what causes and entails workforce resilience as well as how to best address the issue for leaders and employees alike. By comparing disciplinary perspectives of resilience and reviewing empirical studies, this study identifies core elements and drivers of workforce resilience in the context of organizational and human resource development. This study also clarifies how workforce resilience should incorporate policies and strategies at the societal and organizational levels together with organizational human-resource interventions.
