The Positive Effect of Resilience on Stress and Business Outcomes in Difficult Work Environments.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Objective
To examine whether resilience has a protective effect in difficult work environments.Methods
A survey of 2063 individuals measured individual resilience, stress, burnout, sleep problems, likelihood of depression, job satisfaction, intent to quit, absences, and productivity. It also measured work characteristics: job demands, job influence, and social support. Multivariate and logistic regression models examined the main effects and interactions of resilience and job characteristics.Results
High strain work environments (high demand, low influence, and low support) have an unfavorable effect on all outcomes. Resilience has a protective effect on all outcomes. For stress, burnout, and sleep, higher resilience has a more protective effect under low-strain conditions. For depression, absence and productivity, resilience has a more protective effect when job strain is high.Conclusions
Workers with high resilience have better outcomes in difficult work environments.
