The impact of organizational resilience management in Libyan ports during economic and political crises

Abstract

This study aimed to measure the impact of organizational resilience management on enhancing the ability of Libyan ports to face economic and political crises, applied to the branch of the Libyan Ports Company at the Port of Tripoli. The study adopted the descriptive analytical approach, and data were collected using a questionnaire distributed to a sample of 40 managers, department heads, and employees. The results showed that the level of organizational resilience management in the port was high (mean = 3.68), while the level of impact of economic and political crises was also high (mean = 4.10). Hypothesis testing revealed a statistically significant negative correlation between organizational resilience management and economic and political crises (r = -0.58, Sig = 0.000), confirming that enhancing organizational resilience contributes to mitigating the negative effects of crises. The study recommended developing emergency and business continuity plans, expanding alternative strategic partnerships, enhancing communication and decision-making systems, and systematically benefiting from lessons learned from previous crises.
