The Impact of Workplace Disruptions on Employee Resilience: The Mediating Role of Self-Efficacy

Abstract

The speed of the digital transition in the IT sector is remodeling classical working environments by introducing never-seen-before economic, technological, and organizational disruptions. These disruptions are detrimental to employee stability and performance, thus making workplace resilience a very important issue in an environment of continuous change.This research taps into employee responses collected through selfadministered surveys and elaborates on the various resilience-enabling factors such as coping ability, skill development, and organizational support structures. The study findings indicate that while market volatilities and rapid technological changes exist, IT professionals remain largely resilient with the aid of managerial foresight and organizational-level interventions. Employees with great adaptability, good problem-solving skills, and intensive family support exhibit greater levels of resilience and output; hence, underlining the necessity for personal and institutional resilience-building mechanisms. This research further emphasizes how HR policies and managerial practices can spur resilience in organizations. As digital disruptions wear on, proactive HR interventions in conjunction with strong leadership provide the basis for the resilient workforce needed to ascertain optimal performance in line with a more diverse IT environment.
