DETERMINING THE RELATIONSHIPS OF EMPLOYEE RESILIENCE AND ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE WITH LEVELS OF EMPLOYEE WORK ENGAGEMENT

Abstract

THE OBJECTIVE IS TO ASSESS WHETHER THE EXTENT TO WHICH EMPLOYEE RESILIENCE AND ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE WOULD BE SIGNIFICANTLY RELATED TO AND STATISTICALLY PREDICT THE THREE FACETS OF EMPLOYEE WORK ENGAGEMENT. RESILIENCE WAS MEASURED BY FOUR FACETS (DETERMINATION, ENDURANCE, ADAPTABILITY, AND RECUPERABILITY)||AND ORGANIZATION CULTURE WAS MEASURED FOR THREE TYPES (BUREAUCRATIC, INNOVATIVE, AND SUPPORTIVE). THE DEPENDENT MEASURES WERE THE THREE FACETS OF WORK ENGAGEMENT (COGNITIVE, EMOTIONAL, AND PHYSICAL). THIS RESEARCH BY QUESTIONNAIRE WAS CONDUCTED IN 2023. THE QUESTIONNAIRES COMPLETED BY 316 FULL-TIME WORKERS REVEALED THAT ALL FOUR FACETS OF EMPLOYEE RESILIENCE HAD SIGNIFICANT POSITIVE CORRELATIONS WITH ALL THREE TYPES OF WORK ENGAGEMENT. ALSO, ALL THREE FACETS OF WORK ENGAGEMENT WERE SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER IN INNOVATIVE AND SUPPORTIVE CULTURES COMPARED TO BUREAUCRATIC CULTURES. THE REGRESSION ANALYSES PERFORMED SHOWED THAT THE RESILIENCE FACTORS OF DETERMINATION AND ADAPTABILITY WERE STRONG POSITIVE PREDICTORS OF ALL THREE FACETS OF WORK ENGAGEMENT. FURTHERMORE, INNOVATIVE CULTURE HAD ADDITIONAL POSITIVE EFFECTS ON ALL THREE FACETS OF WORK ENGAGEMENT||WHILE SUPPORTIVE CULTURE HAD AN ADDITIONAL POSITIVE EFFECT ON EMOTIONAL WORK ENGAGEMENT. THE IMPLICATIONS OF THE RESULTS FOR MANAGEMENT ARE ALSO DISCUSSED IN THIS PAPER.
