Purpose: This study aims to glean insights from the literature review publications in organizational resilience (OR) sphere. The goal is to show threads in describing guidelines for deepening the state-of-the-art in search of the key to proliferate organizational resilience. Design/Methodology/Approach: This paper systematically reviews the studies converging organizational resilience literature review and future research directions, based on the PRISMA protocol. In total, there are 33 articles reviewed from the Scopus and Web of Science databases. Findings: The analysis identified main research themes by clustering the prior studies into seven groups, which describe the direction of the literature. The bibliographic coupling analysis highlights that future empirical research needs to be deepened, while theoretical and methodological papers have already been widely described over the years. Research Limitations/Implications: The insights from this study are limited by the narrow thematic focus on the future research in or landscape. Also exploration the content of two databases tapers the global view of the subject, therefore literature obtained from various databases with using different keywords could provide broader results. Practical Implications: This research posits that the interplay between future research dimensions should be definitively placed in practical sphere. Originality/Value: The paper offers a first distinctive exploration of the literature through the lens of future research implications. The findings contribute valuable perspectives for both academics and practitioners involved in search of factors that strengthen OR.
