Organizational Resilience as a Response to the Energy Crisis: Systematic Literature Review

Abstract

In this paper, we provide a literature review on the topic of organizational resilience, in relation to the energy crisis. The concept of organizational resilience refers to the capability to respond and adapt to shocks. Undoubtedly, the recent energy crisis may be considered an external shock, as it has raised energy prices and exerts a significant pressure on decision makers. Although the energy crisis has impacted organizations significantly in recent months, there is little knowledge on how companies should respond to this threat. Thus, to fill in this research gap, we apply the method of a systematic literature review (SLR), combined with text mining tools, to map the topics covered by 124 works in the field. Based on our results, we uncover several important gaps in the existing studies. We also provide suggestions on relevant future research directions that could broaden the scope of the management of energy crisis, in line with the concept of organizational resilience.

Challenges and Opportunities for Achieving Operational Sustainability of Boilers in the Context of Industry 4.0

“…Achieving operational sustainability of boilers is therefore a pressing challenge in the context of Industry 4.0 (Kibulungu & Laseinde, 2023). Policymakers have become increasingly concerned with energy sustainability in light of recent global energy supply disruptions caused by events such as the Covid-19 pandemic and political crises such as the Russia-Ukraine war (Chofreh et al, 2021;Ingram et al, 2023). As a result, operational sustainability in boilers has become a key focus in the pursuit of a more sustainable energy future.…”

Mastering the interplay of organizational resilience and sustainability: Insights from a hybrid literature review

“…Previous studies stressed that organizational resilience is critical to answering the evolving institutional expectations triggered by Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance (ESG) criteria (Liang & Li, 2023). Besides, the unprecedented challenges raised by the Coronavirus (Covid‐19) pandemic and the energy crisis have further highlighted the need for organizational resilience (Ingram et al, 2023; Mirtsch et al, 2023). However, little is known about how organizational resilience can be factually achieved to enhance business sustainability (Hillmann & Guenther, 2021).…”
