Abstract
The purpose of this study was to explore whether resilience acted as a health protective factor influencing an employee's ability to manage those demands for self-control placed upon them by the nature of their work, and how this influence interacted with employee well-being and job satisfaction. All participants held tertiary health professional qualifications and worked as vocational rehabilitation consultants in a large public sector organization. 1023 employees were invited to participate in the study and 33% (n = 341) responded. 86% (n = 292) were female. Generic information was gathered and the following tests administered: Self Control Demands (SCD); Resilience Scale for Adults (RSA); Job Satisfaction Scale (JSS) and the Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21). The results support recent findings that self-control demands are a source of stress at work, and demonstrate that resilience mediates the influence of self-control demands on employee wellbeing and job satisfaction. These relationships are important in the complex person-work environment and warrant the attention of Human Resource managers in workforce planning.
