As most individuals and collectives will experience challenges throughout their lives, including shared crises (e.g. terrorist attacks, natural disasters), learning how these negative experiences can be linked to adaptive outcomes may be beneficial to all. More specifically, as organizational membership is a crucial element in the lives of many, investigating the role organizations can play in recovery offers relevant knowledge. The current research will investigate resilience in the workplace following shared adversity by examining the potential for reaching desired end states through the use of organizational identification and collective support. This research will be conducted in collaboration with Dr. Joana Kuntz, a noted expert on employee and organizational resilience and founder of the Employee Resilience Research Group (EmpRes), at the University of Canterbury, in Christchurch, New Zealand. New Zealand serves as the ideal location to examine collective adversity and organizational resilience, as many organizations are currently undergoing the ?Canterbury Rebuild? due to recent earthquake devastation. Such shared adversities, paired with the expanding business industry, make New Zealand a unique and ideal place to investigate current hypotheses and also an area that may benefit greatly from research findings.The current work integrates resilience research with other theoretical frameworks (i.e. social identity theory, organizational behavior, and occupational health) in an attempt to go beyond individual-level factors and examine multilevel effects that can be used to inform research and recovery efforts. This investigation is novel and also potentially useful because it will examine collective and organizational factors that may assist workers, especially those who would likely not ?bounce back? from experienced hardships. This work aims to further the promise of resilience research to redress human suffering by extending previous findings to collective adversity and incorporating an examination of the organizational resources that can assist groups and individuals in coping with collective strain. This NSF EAPSI award is funded in collaboration with the Royal Society of New Zealand.

由于大多数个人和集体在一生中都会经历挑战，包括共同的危机（如恐怖袭击、自然灾害），因此了解这些负面经历如何与适应性结果联系起来可能对所有人都有益。更具体地说，由于组织成员是许多人生活中的一个关键因素，调查组织在恢复中可以发挥的作用提供了相关的知识。目前的研究将调查共同逆境后工作场所的复原力，通过研究通过使用组织认同和集体支持达到理想的最终状态的潜力。这项研究将与新西兰基督城坎特伯雷大学的员工和组织复原力著名专家、员工复原力研究小组创始人Joana Kuntz博士合作进行。新西兰是研究集体逆境和组织复原力的理想地点，因为许多组织目前正在经历？坎特伯雷重建？由于最近的地震破坏。这种共同的逆境，加上不断扩大的商业行业，使新西兰成为一个独特的和理想的地方，以调查目前的假设，也是一个地区，可能会受益于研究结果。目前的工作整合弹性研究与其他理论框架（即社会认同理论，组织行为，和职业健康），试图超越个人层面的因素，并检查多层次的影响，可用于为研究和恢复工作提供信息。这项调查是新颖的，也可能是有用的，因为它将研究集体和组织因素，可能有助于工人，特别是那些谁可能不会？反弹吗经历过的艰辛。这项工作的目的是进一步恢复力研究的承诺，以解决人类的痛苦，扩大以前的研究结果，集体逆境，并纳入组织资源，可以帮助团体和个人应对集体压力的检查。这个NSF EAPSI奖是与新西兰皇家学会合作资助的。
