ABSTRACT
The term “resilience” has its roots from positive psychology and in true essence, signifies “good life,” for which every individual desires, while surpassing every change. Nevertheless, the concept of resilience at work (RAW) is not novel. But exploring RAW in Indian context would carve a niche for Indian managers to cope up with the adversities of the environment and emerge to be more flexible and adaptable. The present research aims to validate resilience at work scale developed by Winwood and colleagues. The validation process has been conducted on a sample of 300 employees working in manufacturing industries. The data were subjected within the framework of Exploratory and Confirmatory Factor Analysis. The analysis yielded five dimensions in contrast to the original seven dimensions. The study provides a breakthrough evidence for the psychometric properties of resilience at workplace in Indian work setting.
