The COVID-19 pandemic has challenged and changed organisations. While the pandemic has brought opportunities for business in some sectors, such as information and communication, and for people who enjoy the flexibility they gain from home-based or hybrid work arrangements, the realisation of benefits for individuals and organisations is uncertain over longer time periods and distributed unevenly across the workforce. Thus, the pandemic situation has been a trigger, albeit an unwelcome one, for revising our theorising about organisational risk. We build on the articles within our special section and develop a perspective on how to continue the development of new theoretical insights. First, we examine how existing theories can be extended to encompass organisational risk. We focus on theories of organisational culture to do so. Second, we discuss ways that existing theories can be repurposed to address important challenges. We illustrate our points using paradoxical leadership theory and theories of creativity. Third, we reflect on ways to develop new theorising by exploring multilevel modelling and the microfoundations of organisational risk. Fourth, we reflect on methods. In doing so, we pave the way for future studies that will enrich our understanding of organisational risk and contribute to preparations for future crises.

风险、COVID-19 大流行和组织：扩展、重新利用和发展理论

COVID-19 大流行给组织带来了挑战和改变。尽管疫情给信息和通信等某些行业以及享受在家或混合工作安排带来的灵活性的人们带来了机遇，但个人和组织的利益在较长时期内的实现仍存在不确定性并且在劳动力中分布不均。因此，疫情虽然不受欢迎，但却成为了我们修改组织风险理论的一个触发因素。我们以我们的专题部分中的文章为基础，并就如何继续发展新的理论见解提出了观点。首先，我们研究如何扩展现有理论以涵盖组织风险。我们专注于组织文化理论来做到这一点。第二，我们讨论如何重新利用现有理论来应对重要挑战。我们使用矛盾的领导理论和创造力理论来阐述我们的观点。第三，我们反思通过探索多层次建模和组织风险的微观基础来发展新理论的方法。第四，反思方法。在此过程中，我们为未来的研究铺平了道路，这些研究将丰富我们对组织风险的理解，并有助于为未来的危机做好准备。
