Business Continuity and Sustainability in Government Organisations

This study aimed to investigate the effects of business continuity management (BCM) practices on the organisational performance of government organizations in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The study considered a set of variables, with BCM practices as the dependent variable and planned resilience and adaptive resilience as independent variables of organisational performance. The sample comprised 200 individuals from Saudi Arabia. Data collection was facilitated through an electronic questionnaire, using Google Docs as the platform. Questionnaires were distributed to 211 individuals, with 200 responses obtained, resulting in a 94% response rate. Distribution was carried out in Arabic and English through various channels, including social media platforms, email, WhatsApp, and LinkedIn. The study revealed a significant link between organisational performance, using BCM practices, and planned and adaptive resilience. These findings contribute to the understanding of the impact of BCM practices on organisational performance within the context of Saudi Arabia.
