Abstract(s)
During this investigation, we examined three variables in order to understand the
mediating role of employee well-being in the relationship between resilience and
performance. Resilience, representing the only independent variable of this study, and was
assessed according to Carmeli, Friedman, and Tishler, 2013. Employee performance in the
workplace is the dependent construct of the current study and was evaluated through the
performance scale of Williams and Anderson (2001). Furthermore, employee well-being in
the workplace was measured through work engagement and burnout dimension which
represent the positive and negative aspect of the construct, respectively (Maslach, Schaufeli,
& Leiter, 2001; Schaufeli, Bakker, & Salanova, 2006).
Up to date, to the best of our knowledge, no studies were carried out exploring the
relationship between all three constructs from an organizational perspective. Consequently,
the principal aim of this study was to understand and provide evidence of the mediating role
of employee well-being to explain the relationship between resilience and performance.
The analyzed sample consisted of 119 employed participants, and the data were collected
through a semi-structured questionnaire distributed online. The main results show that there is
a significant and positive relationship between resilience and work engagement. In addition,
work engagement seems to partially mediate the relationship between resilience and
performance, since a significant direct relationship between resilience and performance was
also observed.
Finally, we discussed practical and theoretical results implications.
