Role of Self-Efficacy and Anxiety in Resilience Effects on Performance and Well-Being

The current study examined the role of motivational and affective factors in resilience effects on the outcomes performance and well-being. Prior research has examined the direct relationships between resilience and outcomes but not the variables through which resilience has beneficial effects on outcomes. The current study examined a path model that addresses the underlying mechanisms (e.g., motivational and affective variables) that explain the beneficial effects of resilience on performance and well-being. Results provided support for a revised path model and evidence of a motivational pathway, an affective pathway, and a more complex pathway that explain how resilience has beneficial effects on performance and well-being. The current study has important implications towards researchers\u27 understanding of how resilience has beneficial effects on important outcomes
