In this study, we address the issue of modern practices of human resources management as employee resilience, flexible work and time, social responsibility, which has received a lesser conceptual and empirical attention specifically, from managers perspective.

More importantly, we tried to draw attention to the importance of resilience and flexibility in work, and how they can be combined with other practices of social responsibility, such as transparency and fairness among employee.

We tried to evaluate to what extent the human resources departments under study committed toward social responsibility, then to bridge this concept to job resilience and flexible work arrangement.

This study was applied at four manufacturing Algerian organizations, on a sample of 43 managers, heads of departments and supervisors. By conducting a questionnaire that contained questions covering four axes including demographic questions, data process was done by SPSS version 23; we confirmed the existence of a strong positive relationship and a statistical significance between the three concepts, and between these latter and the personal characteristics of respondents such as Age and experience. We conclude that what is needed in today Algerian organizations the supportive leadership as well as socially responsible management.
