Abstract

Sustainability can guide the decision-making process of managers in obtaining competitive advantages. Incorporating sustainability criteria into the main managerial strategies of organizations generates long-term profitability. Using Structured Literature Review (SLR) as a research methodology we synthesize the characteristics and differences between financial performance and sustainability in the context of organizational resilience. Therefore, this paper offers a comprehensive structured literature review based on the relationship between the concepts of financial performance, sustainability, and organizational resilience, using research studies from four main databases: Web of Science, Scopus, ScienceDirect, and Springer. In carrying out this study, we identified the current trends in the specialized literature regarding the relationship between financial performance and sustainability in the context of organizational resilience as they were debated in the analysed literature, until the end of September 2023, in 116 papers.
