Healthcare workers have been on the frontline of the battle against COVID‐19 disease. However, this has taken a toll on them, resulting in elevated stress and poor mental health. We argue that healthcare workers' stress mindset and resilience could mitigate negative outcomes of COVID‐19‐related stress by helping them view this stressful situation in a more positive light and appraise it as a challenge rather than a threat. Accordingly, we hypothesized that both a stress‐is‐enhancing mindset about COVID‐19‐related stress and resilience would improve healthcare workers' appraisal of their personal resources and increase their challenge appraisals, positively contributing to their mental health. We collected data from 160 healthcare workers and performed structural equation modeling for hypothesis testing. The results indicate that both a stress‐is‐enhancing mindset about COVID‐19‐related stress and psychological resilience are indirectly related to better mental well‐being and lower health‐related anxiety through challenge appraisals. This study contributes to research in mental health by suggesting that protecting and promoting healthcare workers' mental health is possible by empowering them through increasing personal resources such as a positive mindset about stressful situations and resilience.
Achieving successful performance is an important goal for companies. However, in turbulent market environments, this goal can be quite difficult to achieve. Therefore, today organizations should have the necessary skills, such as learning capability and resilience, to have successful performance indicators, especially in turbulent market conditions. This study suggests that the antecedent effect of organizational learning capability and the moderating effect of organizational resilience should be considered in order to strengthen organizational performance in turbulent markets. Moreover, this study aims to develop a moderated mediation model that measures both the indirect effect of organizational learning capability on organizational performance, and the direct effect of organizational learning capability on organizational performance, with the mediating effect of organizational resilience under the moderation of market turbulence. In this study, a questionnaire study was applied to the high level managers of 109 manufacturing organizations. According to the findings of the research, it is seen that organizational learning capability has a direct positive effect on organizational performance and organizational learning capability has an indirect effect on organizational performance through mediating effect of organizational resilience. In addition, it has been found that market turbulence moderates the direct effect of organizational learning capability on organizational performance. Also, it has been found that the indirect effect of organizational learning capability on organizational performance through organizational resilience is moderated by market turbulence. Considering the data obtained as a result of this study, it is seen that organizational learning capability plays an important role in order to have strong organizational performance in turbulent markets, with the help of the mediating effect of organizational resilience.
