Abstract

The problem addressed by this research is the need for protective factors to support teacher resilience. Organizations that fail to develop employee resilience risk failing to enjoy the positive outcomes associated with it. Research-based methods to improve resilience may benefit organizations, including school districts. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between employee development provided by a school district and the resilience of its high school teachers in the post-Covid-19, in-person workplace. Conservation of Resources theory served as the framework to guide the research. Study participants completed a questionnaire with Likert-style response options, with items to assess the perceived employee development opportunities from their employee and their employee resilience. Data analysis used a Spearman’s correlation to produce statistical results regarding the relationship between employee development and employee resilience. In conclusion, the null hypothesis was able to be rejected. Employee development and employee resilience showed a weak, positive correlation that was significant, rs(223) = .29, p R2 = .15, F(7,217) = 5.5, pβ =.14, p = .033, and instilling confidence regarding training and development for new tasks, β = .25, p = .009.
