Il contesto economico e sociale attuale, caratterizzato da elevata incertezza, volatilità, complessità e ambiguità (VUCA), richiede alle organizzazioni la capacità di adattamento e resistenza, considerata un imperativo strategico. Gli studi condotti nell’ambito del Change Management hanno evidenziato che l’efficacia della resilienza organizzativa (RO) dipende, in ultima analisi, dalla resilienza individuale (IR) dei dipendenti. Tuttavia, esiste ancora un significativo divario nella ricerca riguardo al modo in cui le singole competenze di resilienza possono essere sistematicamente amplificate e trasformate in un vantaggio competitivo a livello di sistema. La mera somma di individui resilienti non equivale a un’organizzazione resiliente, a meno che non sia supportata da processi HR strategici e da un modello di leadership trasformativo. Questo paper mira a colmare tale lacuna, illustrando il design di una ricerca qualitativa attualmente in corso e il modello concettuale preliminare per l’esplorazione di tale transizione. L’articolo, che si inserisce nel solco della ricerca in ambito di Human Resource Management (HRM) e Change Management, intende, pertanto, sottolineare la necessità di un intervento di natura strategica per sviluppare la resilienza organizzativa

Abstract
The prevailing economic and social context, marked by elevated uncertainty, volatility, complexity, and ambiguity (VUCA), necessitates that organizations possess the capacity for adaptation and resilience, which is regarded as a strategic imperative. Research undertaken in the domain of Change Management has demonstrated that the efficacy of organisational resilience (OR) is contingent upon the individual resilience (IR) of employees. However, there remains a significant gap in the research regarding the systematic amplification and transformation of individual resilience skills into a competitive advantage at the system level. The mere presence of resilient individuals within an organisation does not guarantee its resilience. The integration of strategic HR processes and a transformative leadership model is imperative to ensure the effectiveness of these efforts. The objective of this paper is to address this lacuna by present ing the design of an ongoing qualitative research project and a preliminary conceptual model for exploring this transition. The article, which falls within the field of human resource management (HRM) and change management, therefore aims to highlight the need for strategic intervention to develop organisational resilienceI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
