This study introduces sociotechnical resilience, emphasizing informational relations, sociomaterial structures, and anticipatory practices. These elements are key for systems to adapt and transform after disturbances.

Area of Science:

  • Interdisciplinary approach integrating Science and Technology Studies, Human Factors, Safety Science, Organizational Studies, and Systems Engineering.

Background:

  • Sociotechnical systems are complex and hybrid entities.
  • Understanding their resilience is crucial for navigating crises and disturbances.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present and define the concept of sociotechnical resilience.
  • To identify key constituents and theoretical underpinnings of sociotechnical resilience.

Main Methods:

  • Interdisciplinary conceptualization.
  • Identification of core constituents: informational relations, sociomaterial structures, and anticipatory practices.
  • Framing resilience through the lens of transformability and intentional activities.

  • Sociotechnical resilience is characterized by three fundamental constituents.
  • Transformability, enabled by intentional activities, is central to system adaptation.
  • The triad of relations, structures, and practices are essential for comprehending system resilience.

Conclusions:

  • Sociotechnical resilience is a dynamic capability enabling systems to adapt and transform.
  • The proposed framework provides a comprehensive understanding of system resilience during crises.
  • Future research should explore the practical application of these concepts in diverse sociotechnical systems.
