Abstract:

Resilience became an important term in the language of many disciplines, although there is no commonly accepted definition that is used across all disciplines. There exist a lot of factors studied for their involvement in the economic resilience of companies under market disruption (in crisis). But the employees’ creative involvement and wellbeing degree were paid less attention. Our study targeted the relationships between such social dimensions and firm resilience for 18 clothing-related small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) from Romania (Moldova region). Case selection was via theoretical sampling. To be specific to our choice of the variable to denote ‘health’ of business systems the Altman’s Zscore was taken into consideration. We aimed to find the eventual correlations between the Z-score transition profiles and employees’ creative involvement and wellbeing score for selected firms, having a predominantly or final ‘health’ status, during 2009-2013. The most important finding of our study is represented by the strong correlation between the ‘healthy’ Z-score transition profiles of the companies and the real employees’ creative involvement in company’s production management and their wellbeing degree. The employees’ involvement in companies’ governance might represent the basis for building up the organizational resilience.
