Abstract

Recent studies point out that the management of hybrid organizations faces the challenge of facilitating the conciliation of competing logics. This paper identifies unique characteristics of hybrid organizations and presents a conceptual map, which was elaborated through a concept-centric strategy to systematize new relationships between dimensions and unique characteristics. We also propose a processual approach that describes associations between unique characteristics of hybrid organizations with contextual elements of organizational resilience. The results present a perspective of associating the contextual elements of organizational resilience with three characteristics of hybrid organizations: (i) Mission, benefits and intended impacts; (ii) social impact; (iii) governance and partnerships. In these characteristics, a potential for the development of dimensions capable of assisting the organizational resilience was detected. A strong sense of purpose and core values; integration; interdependence and cooperation are very evident among the dimensions under investigation.
