<p>Today’s organizational environment is characterized by unprecedented complexity and uncertainty, requiring organizations to develop robust adaptive capabilities. Organizational resilience, understood as the ability to thrive, survive, and develop in changing environments while maintaining core identity and operational effectiveness, has become a critical construct. While numerous measurement tools exist globally, there is a notable lack of concise, validated instruments adapted to the Polish context, which limits both local research and cross-cultural comparisons. This study aimed to adapt the short-form Benchmark Resilience Tool (BRT-13) to Polish conditions and to evaluate its psychometric properties. Three research questions were addressed: (1) What is the factorial structure of the BRT-13-PL? (2) What is the internal consistency of the BRT-13-PL compared to the original version and other adaptations? and (3) How does organizational resilience vary across organizational and demographic characteristics in Poland? A sample of 390 participants from Polish organizations (143 men, 247 women), representing diverse management levels and company sizes, was surveyed with balanced geographical distribution across all voivodeships. Descriptive statistics, reliability analysis, and exploratory factor analysis using maximum likelihood extraction were conducted. EFA revealed two viable solutions: a one-factor model (41.4% variance, RMSEA = 0.077, TLI = 0.910) and a two-factor model (45.7% variance, RMSEA = 0.057, TLI = 0.951). Both solutions proved viable for measuring overall organizational resilience, though the two-factor solution (<i>crisis adaptability</i> and <i>operational efficiency</i>) provided more nuanced assessment and superior fit indices. This two-factor structure may also reflect a general truth about resilience as involving both the capacity to respond effectively in times of crisis and the ability to maintain efficient management in everyday conditions. The adapted tool demonstrated high reliability (overall: α = 0.90, ω = 0.90; Factor I: α = 0.89, ω = 0.89; Factor II: α = 0.71, ω = 0.72). Significant group differences were identified, with large organizations (&gt; 250 employees) reporting lower resilience than small and medium enterprises, and additional variations across management levels and gender. The results further suggest that Polish organizations tend to build resilience primarily on individual heroism and hard work rather than on systematic planning and crisis preparedness. The findings confirm that organizational resilience in Poland exhibits cultural specificity, reflecting both universal and context-dependent dimensions. The Polish BRT-13 proved to be a psychometrically sound and time-efficient instrument for assessing organizational resilience, suitable for both research and practice, and enabling meaningful cross-cultural comparisons with existing English and Spanish versions.</p>
