Abstract

Emotions play an important role in today’s modern, complex and competitive world. The role of emotional resilience has become increasingly vital in the context of modern workplaces, where employees face multifaceted challenges, ranging from high-pressure environments to rapid technological advancements. This study explores the critical connection between emotional resilience and employee well-being, highlighting its influence on sustainable organizational growth. It is characterized by the ability to adapt, recover, and thrive in adversity. Such emotional resilience promotes a culture of psychological safety, innovation, and collaboration within organizations. The research highlights the contribution of emotional resilience toward the reduction of burnout, the satisfaction of employees at work, and their overall health. Equipped with coping mechanisms, organizations can therefore breed resilient workers who function effectively even during turbulent times. The study extends even further the impact of emotionally resilient workers on organizational outcome, including superior performance, diminished absenteeism, and higher retention rates. This research identifies the key strategies to foster emotional resilience through a review of existing literature and case studies from diverse industries, including training programs, supportive leadership, and promotion of work-life balance. The findings clearly underscore that investment in emotional resilience is not only a matter of individual well-being but also a strategic imperative for sustainable growth. Organizations that focus on emotional resilience will be adaptive and competitive in today's business world. This paper concludes by promoting a holistic approach where employee well-being and organizational success are interwoven through the strategic cultivation of emotional resilience.
