项目的特点是涉及多个利益攸关方和临时性，可能具有风险，并伴有突发事件和不确定情况。项目作为一种常见的临时组织形式，需要有复原能力，使其能够科普突发事件，从中断和危机中恢复过来，并适应外部环境，以有效交付项目。然而，关于项目弹性的含义以及如何组成的共识很少。本研究旨在揭示项目弹性能力的概念，并探讨其核心维度和衡量指标，借鉴基于能力的观点，项目弹性能力是项目组织在各种情景下的组织能力，包括冲击和压力源形式的中断，并适应不断变化的环境。项目弹性能力的三个主要方面被确定为基于动态过程的思维，预测，应对和适应能力的启发。然后，开发了总共21个维度74个指标，以制定测量工具。基于项目组织领域中项目弹性能力的概念化，本研究被认为是扩展组织弹性能力概念和增加项目弹性文献知识的重要一步。
Characterized by involvement of multiple stakeholders and temporary nature, projects can be risky and coupled with unexpected events and uncertain situations. Projects, as a common form of temporary organizations, require resilience capabilities that enable them to cope with unexpected events, recover from disruptions and crises, and adapt to external environments for effective project delivery. However, there is little consensus about what project resilience means and how it is composed. This study aims to unpack the concepts of project resilience capabilities and explore core dimensions and indicators to measure it. Drawing upon a capability-based view, project resilience capabilities are conceptualized as the abilities of project organizations to organize under a variety of scenarios, including disruptions in the form of shocks and stressors and adapt in a changing environment. Three main aspects of project resilience capabilities were identified inspired by a dynamic process-based thinking, anticipation, coping, and adaptation capabilities. A total number of 21 dimension with 74 indicators are then developed to formulate a measurement tool. Based on the conceptualization of project resilience capabilities in the project organizing domain, this study is considered as an important step to extend the idea of organizational resilience capabilities and add knowledge towards the project resilience literature.
