Obtaining external sources for most business entities to sail through these challenges is extremely challenging. Research has documented that organizational resources could be strategically managed to thrive and foster organizational resilience. (Low, 2023) and (Jordão et al., 2023) have unanimously agreed that human capital is the fundamental building block of organizational resilience. Methodology/Technique – This study explores the potential of employee-centered CSR in driving business resilience in times of crisis. Additionally, workplace well-being was tested for its mediator roles in augmenting the interrelationship between employee-centered CSR and business resilience. A quantitative approach was utilized with a self-administered questionnaire distributed to the fully employed employees during and after the post-COVID-19 period to reflect this study's research objective. Finding – The responses were tested by structural equation modeling (SEM) and revealed that employee-centered CSR is significant and positively related to business resilience. Workplace well-being also significantly mediated the relationship. The finding inspires that business entity can strategically reallocate their internal resources, particularly human capital, for Mathew effects. Novelty – Apart from organizational resilience, implementing employee-centered CSR acts as the protagonist of a business organization to attract and retain talented employees.

In 2010, human activities added at least 35 billion tons of carbon dioxide emissions to the atmosphere. Methodology/Technique – One opportunity to minimize this impact is environmentally friendly automotive technology. One example of such a solution is Toyota Motor Corporation's (TMC) research collaboration with BMW Group (since 2011), focusing on improving the performance and capacity of lithium-ion battery cells. Using an explanatory qualitative method and data from a deductive literature review, the author formulates indicators of the company's research success and collaboration impact. Finding – To support the success of the research, the authors use the Theory of International Economic Cooperation. This study argues that research cooperation in the automotive field based on green technology conducted by BMW Group and TMC can significantly impact the global economic sector. Novelty – The benchmark for the success of corporate research cooperation between other countries in the future by determining a research agenda plan equipped with a market segment plan and adjusted to differences in regulations and culture.
