The COVID-19 pandemic had large repercussions for our economy and organizations. Improved resilience can give organizations the ability to withstand crises and build back better and faster. This article assesses resilience of organizations and sole proprietorships in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic with eight circular strategies as explanatory variables. Furthermore, these eight circular strategies are also used to assess the organizations’ and sole proprietorships’ resilience outside of the COVID-19 pandemic. This analysis is conducted to explain how circular strategies can help companies and sole proprietorships maintain stability. The analysis was performed by means of a survey conducted between May and June 2020 in Flanders (Belgium), using a sample of 542 respondents. After performing a regression analysis combined with expert opinions collected through interviews, we find that companies and sole proprietorships with a higher circularity score have a significantly higher resilience score during crises and during normal times, compared to less circular companies. Furthermore, we find that the size of the company does not matter during a crisis to adapt and react flexibly, while it is important when there is no crisis. Finally, we argue that it is the combination of different circular strategies which yields to the highest results for the organizations’ resilience and we provide policy recommendations based on the most asked support measures.

COVID-19 之后的弹性组织:对循环和非循环公司的分析

COVID-19 大流行对我们的经济和组织产生了巨大影响。提高弹性可以使组织能够抵御危机并更好更快地重建。本文以八种循环策略作为解释变量,评估了 COVID-19 大流行背景下组织和独资企业的弹性。此外,这八项循环策略还用于评估组织和独资企业在 COVID-19 大流行之外的弹性。进行此分析是为了解释循环策略如何帮助公司和独资企业保持稳定。该分析是通过 2020 年 5 月至 2020 年 6 月在法兰德斯(比利时)进行的一项调查进行的,调查对象为 542 名受访者。在结合通过访谈收集的专家意见进行回归分析后,我们发现循环度得分较​​高的公司和独资企业在危机期间和正常时期的弹性得分明显高于循环度较低的公司。此外,我们发现公司规模在危机时期并不重要,要灵活地适应和反应,而在没有危机的时候很重要。最后,我们认为,正是不同循环策略的组合才能为组织的弹性带来最高的结果,我们根据最常被问及的支持措施提供政策建议。我们发现,与循环性较低的公司相比,循环性得分较高的公司和独资企业在危机期间和正常时期的弹性得分要高得多。此外,我们发现,公司规模在危机时期并不重要,要灵活地适应和反应,而在没有危机的情况下,公司规模很重要。最后,我们认为,正是不同循环策略的组合才能为组织的弹性带来最高的结果,我们根据最常被问及的支持措施提供政策建议。我们发现,与循环性较低的公司相比,循环性得分较高的公司和独资企业在危机期间和正常时期的弹性得分要高得多。此外,我们发现公司规模在危机时期并不重要,要灵活地适应和反应,而在没有危机的时候很重要。最后,我们认为,正是不同循环策略的组合才能为组织的弹性带来最高的结果,我们根据最常被问及的支持措施提供政策建议。
