Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to explore the main factors that influence organizational resilience and provide practical management implications for enhancing it. The approach taken involves a comprehensive review of relevant literature and critical analysis of the key findings. The paper identifies several factors that impact organizational resilience, including leadership, organizational culture, and staff training, among others. This paper also highlights the need for standardized measurement methods, interdisciplinary research, and enhancing the theoretical system for future research. The originality of this paper lies in its comprehensive analysis of the factors influencing organizational resilience and the practical implications for management. The research limitations include the lack of standardized measurement methods and the need for further empirical research. The practical implications of this paper provide valuable insights for management practitioners to enhance organizational resilience.
