Abstract
ObjectivesAlthough previous studies have proposed a positive influence of resilience on the mental and physical health of health care workers, empirical evidence on its relationship with occupational health remains scarce. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between individual resilience and several occupational health indicators, as well as exploring the moderating role of organizational resilience and sociodemographic attributes on this relationship.MethodsA cross-sectional design was used with a questionnaire applied to a sample of 325 workers from the Spanish health care sector.ResultsIndividual resilience was significantly associated with the indicators of occupational health. A direct effect of individual resilience on job satisfaction was found. The influence of resilience on the perception of fatigue and suffering from an illness was reverse. Age moderated the impact of resilience on the perception of stress and medical leave. Besides, organizational resilience proved to be an important adjustment variable in job satisfaction and perception of stress.ConclusionsThe findings show the relevance to take both individual and organizational resilience into account when applying intervention programs to improve the occupational health of health care workers.Supplementary InformationThe online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s00420-021-01725-8.
