Abstract
Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic has had a severe impact on employees’ well-being and business outcomes throughout the world. The purpose of the present study was to develop a short measure of well-being to identify vulnerable employees. The Emotional Resilience Scale (ERS) was validated in a longitudinal design, using a sample of 193 participants. Results revealed high internal and test-retest reliability. Factor Analysis showed that the ERS is best viewed as unidimensional. The ERS exhibited a strong association with the mental health continuum (short form) measure, and moderate associations with emotional exhaustion and job satisfaction. Implications and limitations for future research are discussed.
