Zusammenfassung

Zur Bewältigung der gestiegenen Arbeitsanforderungen ist es von zentraler Bedeutung, die psychische Widerstandskraft („Resilienz“) der Beschäftigten zu stärken. Selbst bei hohen Anforderungen ermöglicht Resilienz Anpassung und Entwicklung und trägt damit zum Erhalt der psychischen Gesundheit bei. Der Begriff der Resilienz bezieht sich nicht nur auf Individuen, sondern wird auch im Zusammenhang mit Teams und Organisationen verwendet. Trotz der Bedeutung von Resilienz für die psychische Gesundheit und die Handlungsfähigkeit von Teams und Organisationen ist eine konzeptuelle Erschließung für den Arbeitskontext bisher nur ansatzweise erfolgt. Um das Verständnis von Resilienz auf unterschiedlichen Betrachtungsebenen zu vertiefen, werden diese im vorliegenden Beitrag voneinander differenziert und inhaltlich ausgelegt. Abschließend werden Ansatzpunkte eines betrieblichen Resilienz-Managements vorgestellt.

Abstract

The ability to recover from adverse events (“resilience”) is crucial in coping with increased demands in the workplace. Resilience facilitates adaptation and development even under demanding conditions and hence ensures psychological well-being. The notion of resilience has not only been used on the level of individuals, but also applies to teams and organizations. Despite its importance for well-being and effective functioning of teams and organizations, the concept of resilience has not yet been sufficiently clarified. In order to deepen the understanding of resilience on different levels, the present article describes and distinguishes individual, team, and organizational resilience. Finally, the article describes guidelines for an organizational resilience management system.
