Authors
Abstract
Purpose: The study's overall aim is to determine the relationship between organizational resilience to the Covid-19 pandemic and the sustainability of community-based social enterprises in Nairobi County, Kenya.
Material/methods: A descriptive research design was adopted. The study targeted 104 managers, project coordinators, employee representatives and community coordinators from the 26 community-based social enterprises in Nairobi County, Kenya.
Findings: The findings indicated a positive and significant relationship between Covid-19 crisis anticipation, organizational adaptability to Covid-19 and organizational robustness to the Covid-19 pandemic with the sustainability of community-based social enterprises in Nairobi County.
Value: Organizational resilience in community-based social enterprises is sequential. Notably, adaptability to the pandemic requires a Covid-19 crisis anticipation strategy to be put in place to adjust to the new norm. Once the social enterprises adopt it, they can develop immunity to the pandemic, thus contributing to their overall sustainability.
