Abstract
In today's fast-paced environment, employees and organizations face increasing pressures,
necessitating the need for adaptation, while maintaining employee well-being and mental
health. Project professionals in particular often face challenging work conditions, making it
crucial to provide resources and a supportive environment. This study investigated to what
extent organizational resilience is associated with individual resilience and employee wellbeing
and whether psychological safety moderates these relationships in project professionals.
To answer this research question, participants from a German company in the built
environment sector completed an online survey (N=82). A MANCOVA was conducted
controlling for age, gender, tenure, department and managing position. The results suggest
that organizational resilience is positively correlated with employee well-being and that
psychological safety is positively correlated with both individual resilience and employee
well-being. The moderation effect of psychological safety on the relationship between
organizational and individual resilience was inconclusive.
