Abstract

In a turbulent socio-economic environment the problem of ensuring resilience of Russian organizations is relevant so that they can effectively cope with unexpected incidents, restore productivity after failures, overcome gaps in coordination of actions, and most importantly, create the potential for innovative development based on the anticipation of future risks and threats. Development of resilience is considered as a constant activity inherent in a successful organization to meet rapidly changing political, economic and social conditions of activity. The article is devoted to the description of the integrative concept of organizational resilience, which is based on a number of already well-developed theoretical models that have received empirical confirmation in numerous studies. The proposed concept substantiates the need for inter-level interaction of resilience resources, and defines organizational resilience as a dynamic meta-construct, which is formed on the basis of complementary mutual influence "bottom — up" and "top — down" of individual, team and managerial levels of resilience, based on the culture of proactivity. The individual level of resilience, critically dependent on psychological well-being in the workplace, arises as a result of proactive job crafting of work design, which is the basis for developing resilience resources at the team and higher levels of the organizational structure. The team level of resilience is formed on the basis of individual resilience resources and group emergent states that create team subjectivity, and is a mediator ensuring successful interaction between the individual and managerial levels of resilience. The managerial level of resilience includes the principles of resilience engineering, anticipation in strategy, transformational leadership, support for a culture of proactivity, as well as strategic HR management, which integrates and develops inter-level interaction of resilience resources by introducing the necessary virtuous organizational practices that ensure a resilience state of the organization as a system in the current state and strategic perspective: training and career development, participation and involvement of personnel in decision-making, fair monetary and non-monetary recognition, maintaining a work-life balance, psychological and physical safety, and others.
