“…Yet, according to Burnes (2017), the impacts of "ideal" change can be observed at an enterprise-wide level and can have wider socio-technical influences on the entire organization. Bazie and Braganza (2020) defined OC from a social/ human perspective, stating that OC is the process that involves developing employee skills, supporting individuals to implement change and guiding performance enhancement via appraisals, motivation and feedback. In general, it is worthy to mention that a quick scan of the existing literature reveals several other definitions for OC.…”

PurposeThis study aims to: (1) investigate the relationship/connection between organizational change (OC) and organizational resilience (OR) and (2) provide a basis for understanding how organizational change can underpin or build organizational resilience.Design/methodology/approachAn extensive literature review has been made to discuss the goals of OC as well as the enablers of OR. A number of conceptual models have been introduced to demonstrate the correlation between OC and OR and the potential role of OC in supporting OR. Empirical findings were also introduced in order to support the theoretical basis of this research.FindingsThis study argues that OC can be practiced for the purpose of building or supporting OR. A variety of views have been introduced to demonstrate the correlation between OC and OR and the role of OC in supporting OR.Practical implicationsThe purpose and scope of OC should not only be confined to enabling organizations to respond to the dynamics of their business environments but also to enable organizations to withstand a wider range of internal disruptions, major incidents and external factors. This perspective provides a broader insight that is different from the traditional conceptualization of the goals and purpose of OC.Originality/valueTo the author’s knowledge, this is one of very few studies that discuss the correlation between OC and OR and the role of OC in building OR. This explains the need for more practical change initiatives that aim to elevate levels of OR.
