Abstract
The purpose of the study was to examine the relationship between learning culture, workplace support and employee resilience in selected International Non-Governmental organizations in Uganda. The problem was that INGOs continue to report low levels of employee resilience at work. Infact the UNNGO Forum reports that low resilience is an issue in more than 75% of INGOs operating locally. Hence the objectives of the study were: to establish the relationship between learning culture and employee resilience, to establish the relationship between workplace support and employee resilience and to find the predictive power of learning culture and workplace support on employee resilience. The study was conducted using a descriptive survey design. The questionnaires were hand delivered and filled in a face-to-face interaction with the respondent and out of 40 INGOs, 36 were sampled. The results indicate a positive significant relationship between learning culture and employee resilience (r = 0.662, p<0.01). Regarding objective two, the results indicate a positive significant relationship between workplace support and employee resilience (r = 0.634, p<0.01). The results in model indicate that learning culture and workplace support contributes 50.8% of the variance in employee resilience (Adjusted R Square=.508). This implies that a unit change in learning culture and workplace support can cause a change in employee resilience by 0.508. The results also show that learning culture is a positive significant predictor of employee resilience (β = 0.435, p<0.05). This means that a unit change in learning culture can bring a change in employee resilience by 0.435. On the other hand, results further indicate that workplace support is a positive significant predictor of employee resilience (β = 0.361, p<0.05). This implies that a unit change in workplace support can cause change in employee resilience by 0.361. The overall results indicate that learning culture was the best predictor of employee resilience (β = 0.435, p<0.05). This implies that when it comes to resilience of employees in this context, learning culture has a greater impact than workplace support, hence it should be given more attention.
