Abstract

Building Resilient in today’s milieu is a significant factor to cope with adversities in life. With the uncertainties employees are facing in the academe it is essential to look into mental health and wellness and uphold high level resilience to maintain integrity in the workplace. The main thrust of the study was to determine the level of employees’ resilience with 5 common themes adopted by (Harris 2020) including: self-control, adaptability, optimism, self-sufficiency and persistence. To measure the level of resilience, a validated and pilot-tested researcher-made questionnaire will be used . To measure the level of depression a personality traits standardized questionnaire developed by Costa & McCrae (1992), the NEO Personality Inventory-Revised (NEO-PI-R). The data were analyzed and interpreted using inferential statistical tools such as chi-square and t-Test for independent samples were used to determine significant relationship and difference between variables of the study through Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS). On employees’ resilience level, it reveals that respondents had the highest composite mean in self- sufficiency and got the lowest level of resilience in terms of optimism. The level of depression is high. Further, building resilient workforces has become a strategic imperative for organizations seeking to thrive in an increasingly volatile and uncertain world. By recognizing the importance of employee resilience culture that not only empowers individuals to navigate challenges along with the psychological problem as to mental health concerns but also bolsters the overall resilience and success of the organization.
