Workplace Resilience of Young Adults: Systematic Reviews and Research Orientations in a Developing Country

Workplace resilience has been a topic of a key area of study in research on occupational psychology and health worldwide for many years. There is a growing recognition of the importance of workplace resilience in maintaining a healthy work-life balance and enhancing overall job satisfaction. Despite its importance for employee well-being and productivity, workplace resilience is still a relatively new and less frequently studied topic in independent research in Vietnam compared to other established areas such as working conditions, occupational health, and work-related stress. Moreover, cultural differences and cultural factors in the workplace in Vietnam may present unique characteristics distinct from those in Western countries, where research on workplace resilience has been implemented for a longer period of time. By further exploring and integrating workplace resilience into research and practice in Vietnam, the support of well-being and performance of Vietnamese workers can be actively and specifically tailored across various industries and age groups. Through a comprehensive review and synthesis of theoretical frameworks and related research on workplace resilience globally and domestically, the author team has compiled, analyzed, and defined the term "workplace resilience" at the individual level. This article aims to introduce definitions and theoretical frameworks of workplace resilience, providing an important foundation for the author team to propose research directions and establish relevant theoretical frameworks related to workplace resilience. By clarifying the concept of workplace resilience and its implications, the study seeks to contribute to advancing understanding and practices related to workplace resilience in the Vietnamese context.
