Purpose: The study draws attention to the determinants of the growing role of organizational resilience and human capital, which, thanks to its capabilities, skills and flexibility, is an important determinant supporting the resilience of the entities. Thus, the purpose of the study is to identify human capital and its characteristics as determinants of organizational resilience.

Design/methodology/approach: The study was based on critical analysis of literature and internet sources. The subject includes the issues related to organizational resilience and human capital, as a determinant of this resilience that increases the level of acceptance of changes, i.e., the level of adaptability.

Findings: The considerations presented in this study show that resilience is currently a desirable feature of every organization. It is also a feature of human capital and the appropriate use of individual resilience through human capital management can help create organizational resilience.

Practical implications: Theoretical considerations are supported by the results of global research in the field of human capital management. Consequently, it was confirmed that considering a human aspect when making decisions provides companies with better protection against rapid changes. Improving managers' awareness of this situation should help them prepare their companies for difficult operating conditions, and thus enable them to survive and continue to function effectively, despite crises and other threats.

Social implications: Recognizing the determinants of organizational resilience and highlighting the role of human capital in this sphere as well as raising awareness of the importance of effective human capital management may have multi-faceted beneficial socio- economic consequences.

Originality/value: This study shows a specific approach to human capital, which, through its capabilities and individual resilience, shapes the organizational resilience and determines the effective company management in the situation of rapid and unpredictable changes in the environment.(original abstract)
