Kurumsal dirençlilik, hızla değişen ve belirsizliklerle kuşatılmış günümüz dünyasında, kurumların krizlere karşı dayanıklılık gösterme, uyum sağlama ve dönüşüm yeteneği olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Özellikle küresel salgınlar, iklim krizi ve ekonomik dalgalanmalar gibi sistemik şoklar karşısında bu yetkinlik, kurumsal sürdürülebilirlik açısından stratejik bir gereklilik hâline gelmiştir.
Bu çalışma, kurumsal dirençlilik alanındaki akademik eğilimleri bibliyometrik analiz yöntemiyle incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Web of Science (WoS) veri tabanından seçilen 216 makale üzerinden yapılan analizler, alan yazındaki tematik kümelenmeleri, atıf ilişkilerini, yazarlar arası işbirliklerini ve coğrafi dağılımları ortaya koymaktadır. Bulgular, kurumsal dirençlilik araştırmalarının ağırlıklı olarak iklim değişikliği, COVID-19 pandemisi ve afet yönetimi bağlamında yoğunlaştığını göstermektedir. Ayrıca sürdürülebilirlik, stratejik yönetim, çevresel planlama ve şehircilik gibi çok disiplinli yaklaşımlarla ilişkili olduğu tespit edilmiştir.
Sonuç olarak, çalışma bu kavram etrafında gelişen literatürü sistematik biçimde haritalandırmakta ve gelecekteki araştırmalara yön verebilecek tematik boşlukları işaret etmektedir. Kurumsal dirençlilik, sadece kriz yönetimi değil; aynı zamanda kurumsal öğrenme, adaptasyon ve uzun vadeli rekabet gücü için de temel bir çerçeve sunmaktadır. Gelecek çalışmalar, bu kavramın kuramsal sınırlarını derinleştirmeye ve uygulamadaki yansımalarını değerlendirmeye odaklanmalıdır.

Institutional Resilience as An Interdisciplinary Concept: Bibliometric Analysis of Literature

Öz

Organizational resilience is defined as the capacity of institutions to withstand crises, adapt to change, and transform in response to rapidly evolving and uncertain global conditions. In the face of systemic shocks such as global pandemics, the climate crisis, and economic fluctuations, this capability has become a strategic imperative for institutional sustainability.
This study aims to examine academic trends in the field of organizational resilience through a bibliometric analysis. Based on an analysis of 216 articles retrieved from the Web of Science (WoS) database, the study explores thematic clusters, citation networks, author collaborations, and geographical distributions within the literature. The findings reveal that research on organizational resilience primarily concentrates on themes related to climate change, the COVID-19 pandemic, and disaster management. Additionally, the concept is closely associated with multidisciplinary domains, including sustainability, strategic management, environmental planning, and urban studies.
In conclusion, this study systematically maps the literature surrounding organizational resilience and identifies thematic gaps that can inform future research. Organizational resilience offers not only a framework for crisis management but also a foundation for institutional learning, adaptation, and long-term competitiveness. Future research should aim to further delineate the theoretical boundaries of the concept and assess its practical implications across diverse institutional contexts.
