The Importance of Definitional and Temporal Issues in the Study of Resilience

Fisher, David M., Ragsdale, Jennifer M., Fisher, Emily C.S.·2019·Applied Psychology

Abstract

Despite recent interest in the topic of resilience in organisations, much work is still needed to advance our understanding of this important area of inquiry. With this in mind, the authors argue that the study of resilience would benefit from (1) greater definitional clarity and (2) explicit inclusion of temporal issues in theoretical conceptualisations of resilience. Based on a systematic review of the literature, we advocate for a concise definition of resilience, along with a heuristic framework intended to meaningfully categorise the various elements, features, and experiences implicated by the concept of resilience, including (a) adversity triggers, (b) resilience outcomes, (c) resilience mechanisms, and (d) resilience promoting factors. This is followed by a discussion of temporal issues in relation to each of the four categories above. Various propositions and recommendations for future research are also presented.

  • Individuals who have a high level of emotional intelligence are better able to manage pressures and demands at work because they are more self-aware.

    “In this context, Sharma and Tiwari [18] point out that individuals who have a high level of emotional intelligence are better able to manage pressures and demands at work because they are more self-aware, according to studies by Fisher et al. [92], Hartmann et al. [93], and Wang et al. [94].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
