Abstract:
Research on resilience has accumulated a vast body of
knowledge which has assisted in comprehending complex
HRM issues in diverse organizational settings. Yet, the exist ing studies have hitherto not paid sufficient attention to the
multifaceted aspects of resilience and occupational contexts.
We join the conversation with resilience, wellbeing and
HRM by suggesting that investigating resilience from a
multidisciplinary perspective situated in varying occupa tional contexts can advance our collective understandings
of the phenomena in important ways. This paper has three
general objectives. First, we show that resilience has been a
long-standing issue in organizational behavior and organiza tion studies and provide an overview of the puzzles that
underpin and trigger this special issue. Second, we highlight
the key insights and contributions of the papers included in
this special issue by reviewing their theoretical underpin nings, methodological approaches and findings. Finally, we
outline a future research agenda on resilience in organiza tions that can help advance international HRM research
