Research on the Impact of Mental Health on Employee Resignation and Strategies for Enhancing Workplace Well-Being

Abstract

Psychological health issues not only affect individuals worldwide but also have an impact on many organizations. Research evidence indicates a close connection between the rising employee resignation rates within organizations and the mental health status of employees. Taking an organizational perspective and drawing from relevant organizational behavior and psychology literature, this paper studied the influence of individual psychological health on resignation behavior to demonstrate how organizational strategies interact with mental health, affecting the dynamic relationship between individual employees and the organization as well as the outcomes of these dynamics. Subsequently, this paper provides recommendations for improving workplace well-being and reducing resignation rates. The organization should invest substantial efforts to consider employees mental health and establish a supportive working environment to reduce resignations directly and indirectly caused by psychological problems, therefore maintaining the sustainable operation of the organization, and articulating the research objectives. Ultimately, it emphasizes that organizations should investigate effective strategies that prioritize mental health and retain talent.
