The research problem stems from emerging crises and looking at how to deal with them by the flexibility of human resources specialized in this field, which enables the organization’s resources to deal with the successive crises and developments that it can face at work, but these crises continued to change and develop, and it became difficult to deal with them.

The objectives of the research came to shed light on the topic of "The Role of Human Resources Flexibility in Crisis Management", as we dealt with the interpretation of the theoretical side of the concepts of human resource flexibility and crisis concepts, as well as the analysis of the results of the applied side, and the interpretation of data on the impact of human resource flexibility in managing special crises in a crisis.
