“…With IO these boundaries are challenged…" (p. 2010). Knudsen Tveiten et al's [39] argument comes from the same domain and ends up with the exact same argument, saying that distributed systems in oil and gas bring more social complexity, as well as new threats, and thus bring new challenges for emergency management.…”

“…Also talking about IO and the changing oil and gas industry in Norway, Skjerve et al [52] point to 'resilient collaboration' as a new necessary manner of interacting in this complex and risky industry: "resilient collaboration, i.e., collaboration that is sufficiently robust and flexible to work efficiently and safely across the various operational states". Similarly, Tveiten et al [39] locate complexity and risk in the increased distribution of oil and gas systems. Steen and Aven [53], Johnsen and Venn [54], as well as Owen et al [55] connect the need for a resilience approach to the intractable nature of risk in modern social-technological systems.…”

“…These studies typically construct the object of resilience based on Hollnagel's definitions that emphasise resilience as the ability to adapt or absorb disturbance, disruptions and change [39,42,52,53,60,61,70,71]. Such disturbance is thus central in many writings.…”

Resilience is becoming a prevalent agenda in safety research and organisational practice. In this study we examine how the peer-reviewed safety science literature (a) formulates the rationale behind the study of resilience; (b) constructs resilience as a scientific object; and (c) constructs and locates the resilient subject. The results suggest that resilience engineering scholars typically motivate the need for their studies by referring to the inherent complexities of modern sociotechnical systems; complexities that make these systems inherently risky. The object of resilience then becomes the capacity to adapt to such emerging risks in order to guarantee the success of the inherently risky system. In the material reviewed, the subject of resilience is typically the individual, either at the sharp end or at higher managerial levels. The individual is called-upon to adapt in the face of risk to secure the continuous performance of the system. Based on the results from how resilience has been introduced in safety sciences we raise three ethical questions for the field to address: (1) should resilience be seen as people thriving despite of, or because of, risk?; (2) should resilience theory form a basis for moral judgement?; and finally (3) how much should resilience be approached as a trait of the individual?

This paper reviews the literature on resilience engineering as a safety management approach. Preferred Reporting Items for Reporting Systematic Reviews guidelines were used to search, select and evaluate 46 published works. The terms organisational resilience and resilience engineering are clarified, and functionalist and interpretive research frameworks used to analyze articles. This review suggests there is no universally agreed definition of resilience engineering; but it involves a collective aspect, is multifactorial, multilevel and multidimensional; associated with four key principles (anticipation, response, learning and monitoring) and successful outcomes. The gap between work as imagined and work as performed is an important aspect. Studies on resilience engineering have predominantly involved qualitative investigations; with data collected through site observations, safety audits and surveys. Eight research gaps were identified, and suggestions made on how these gaps can be addressed through empirical research.

Navigating collaborative governance in Florida: An analysis of local governments resilience amidst the COVID‐19 pandemic

This study investigates the effectiveness of collaborative governance in the context of state and local government responses to the COVID‐19 pandemic in Florida. Our analysis uncovers how local authorities have successfully adapted to implement policies to increase resilience and address the crisis, despite facing challenges, constraints, and limitations. Our findings underscore the significance of considering unique local characteristics when addressing pandemics and shed light on the potential influences of state‐level actors on Home Rule. Notably, research examining the interplay between state decisions and Home Rule during a pandemic is scarce. We utilize Florida as a case study to examine local government responses to COVID‐19, employing a qualitative analysis of data from webinars hosted by the Florida League of Cities and media reports on local government actions. To substantiate our findings and encourage further research, we apply the collaborative governance framework in the context of local government administrative responsibilities.
