Dr. Heewon Kim and colleagues examined how perceived qualities of change communication, organizational support, and supervisor support during the COVID-19 pandemic influenced young adult workers’ resilience and efficacy.
An online survey among 293 South Korean young adult workers was conducted in July 2020.
Key findings include:
— Young adult workers who felt support from their supervisors also had higher perceptions of resilience and self-efficacy.
— When young adult workers’ perceived resilience increased, their burnout at work decreased.
— Workers’ resilience and efficacy were not impacted by change communication nor perceived organizational support.
— Young professionals’ perceived efficacy of themselves was not associated with their burnout at work.
