Abstract

Abstract: How supervisors can optimize resilience training outcomes to safeguard employees during disruptive events is underexplored. Participants who completed workplace resilience training during the COVID-19 pandemic were recruited (online n = 93; panel n = 201) and, using self-report, we examined whether supervisors supporting training enhanced training efficacy, wellbeing, and depression and anxiety symptoms, via two potential mediators: (i) training transfer and (ii) perceived supervisor support for the individual. Parallel mediations revealed that the effect of supervisor support for training was mediated by training transfer for training efficacy, while outcomes related to wellbeing and symptoms of depression and anxiety were mediated by supervisor support. To conclude, supervisor support for resilience training has the potential to enhance training outcomes during disruptive events.
