Abstract
This study aims to integrate the concepts of resilience and agility in organizations, specifically by explaining the role of strategic agility in enhancing the resilience of social enterprises and proposing a conceptual framework for this relationship. The research seeks to identify the key factors that contribute to building resilient organizations through organizational agility. From a methodological standpoint, this study adopts an interpretivist research philosophy, is applied in orientation, follows an inductive approach, and employs a qualitative method. Data collection was conducted through documentary analysis using the meta-synthesis technique. The derived sub-categories and main categories served as core elements in the development of the Agile and Resilient Management (ARM) model. The ARM model explores the relationships between agility in various domains—including digital transformation, innovation, organizational agility, and risk management—and organizational resilience. It also examines how agility contributes to performance improvement and organizational development in social enterprises. Accordingly, agility in areas such as digital transformation, innovation, organizational processes, and risk management is considered a critical driver of organizational resilience, and the interrelations among these factors are clearly illustrated. Organizations that can quickly adapt to changes, innovate in their products and processes, and manage risks and crises effectively demonstrate greater resilience. The ARM model can serve as a guiding framework for organizations aiming to build resilience. It helps organizations leverage agility as a strategic capability to enhance performance and drive continuous improvement.
