The Palgrave Handbook of Change and Resilience at Work [Hardcover]

This handbook focuses on two critical aspects in today’s professional environments: change and resilience. Change has manifested itself as a constant in today’s world, often caused by factors beyond our control. Resilience emanates from our efforts to convert changes from challenges into opportunities. The book addresses three main themes: 1) adapting to a changing work landscape, which explores the historical, societal, technological, and global factors influencing work environments; 2) leadership in times of flux, investigating leadership roles and strategies during organizational change, including communication tactics, ethical considerations, and 3) the transformative impact of leadership; and building resilience in the face of uncertainty, encompassing leadership and self-leadership, humor, collaboration, and adapting ancient traditions to modern challenges. Due to its fascinating range of topics, this handbook will be of interest to a broad range of readers, including researchers, practitioners, and coaches interested in understanding organizational operations and employees’ adaptations to societal changes.
