The Impact of Workplace Resilience on Employee Engagement: The Mediating Role of Psychological Well-being

Abstract

The present research examines whether the relationship between workplace resilience and employee engagement is mediated by psychological well-being, specifically within the IT sector. We also studied the role of demographic variables in determining employees' psychological well-being in the workplace setting. By investigating how resilience impacts engagement, the study seeks to provide empirical evidence that enhances theoretical and practical implications for improving workforce productivity and the well-being of employees. Employing a descriptive and quantitative cross-sectional survey design, data was collected through online surveys targeting 384 employees from India's Information Technology sector. The study focuses on how resilience may foster engagement with psychological well-being as a key mediator, by employing the Job Demands-Resources model and Social Exchange Theory. All the results show positive and statistically significant relationships; however, research findings show a partial mediation between workplace resilience and employee engagement.
