Summary

Introduction

Resilience as a term is studied in crisis management, disaster management, and high reliability organizations. Despite the growing interest in the term, there is no agreed upon and widely accepted measure of organizational resilience construct. Campbell Sills and Stein (2007) states that, in the psychology literature there is a consensus on the reliability and validity of the Conner-Davidson measure. There are attempts to analyze the construct with different dimensions. Hind and Rowley (1996) studied the term with dimensions of change capacity, organizational commitment, social relationships and team integrity and reality perception. Mallak (1998) with the aim to dimensionalize the construct and to measure it, studies organizational resilience under six dimensions of goal directed solution seeking, avoidance, critical understanding, role dependence, source reliance, resource access and develops a scale. Somers (2009) adopts the scale developed by Mallak (1998) and proves that the scale is reliable and valid. Tierney (2003) dimensionalizes the construct with four dimensions of robustness, redundancy, resourcefulness and rapidity
