Innovation projects fail at an astonishing rate. Yet, the negative effects of innovation project failures on the team members of these projects have been largely neglected in research streams that deal with innovation project failures. After such setbacks, it is vital to maintain or even strengthen project members' innovative capabilities for subsequent innovation projects. For this, the concept of resilience, i.e. project members' potential to positively adjust (or even grow) after a setback such as an innovation project failure, is fundamental. We develop the second-order construct of innovator resilience potential, which consists of six components – self-efficacy, outcome expectancy, optimism, hope, self-esteem, and risk propensity – that are important for project members' potential of innovative functioning in innovation projects subsequent to a failure. We illustrate our theoretical findings by means of a qualitative study of a terminated large-scale innovation project, and derive implications for research and management.
The study's objective is to examine the impact of community resilience on individual resilience as mediated by positive emotions as a person experiences major life stressors by determining the levels of positive emotions, community resilience, and individual resilience. The study is anchored on Broaden-and- Build Theory by Barbara Fredrickson, whichposits that experience of positive emotions broadens people's momentary thought-action repertoires, which in turn serve to build their enduring personal resources, ranging from physical and intellectual to social and psychological resources. Community Resilience is introduced in the study as a predictor of individual resilience by being mediated by positive emotions. The study utilized a cross-sectional, explanatory non-experimental design. The study used the total population of 99 families and conveniently selected one (1) adult representative as the respondent. Eighteen (87) were qualified as respondents, and twelve (12) were not included in the total enumeration. The study utilized tests of resilience and positive emotions: Dispositional Positive Emotion Scale by Shiota, Keltner, and John, 2006, Interpersonal Support Evaluation List (ISEL) by Brummett, B. H. and Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale 25 (CD-RISC 25) by Davidson, JRT and Connor, KM. Mean, Bivariate Regression, and Multiple Regression are the statistical tools. Results demonstrate complete mediation since a value of 0.263 reveals no statistical significance on the direct effect of community resilience on individual resilience after accounting for the mediating effect of positive emotions. The study implies that the influence of community resilience on individual resilience is uniquely explained by how the participants feel positive emotions in their community. The study recommends that psychologists, educators, and government and non-government organizations collaborate in establishing a resilient community that can promote positive emotions and can broaden the capacity for individual resilience.

Healthcare workers are a susceptible population to be psychologically affected during health crises, such as the recent COVID-19 pandemic. Resilience has been pointed out in the literature as a possible protective factor against psychological distress in crisis situations. This can be influenced by internal and external factors, such as individual characteristics and organizational factors. Thus, this study aims to characterize the overall resilience levels among healthcare professionals in Portugal and to understand the perspectives of this healthcare workers regarding organizational factors that improve individual resilience. This is a mixed-method study: a first quantitative study using a cross-sectional design to administer the Resilience Scale for Adults (RSA) to 271 healthcare professionals (Mage 33.90, SD = 9.59 years, 90.80% female), followed by a qualitative study through 10 in-depth interviews. The mean score for the total RSA was 178.17 (SD = 22.44) out of a total of 231. Qualitative analysis showed 4 major themes on factors that enhance resilience: "Professional's Training," "Support and Wellbeing Measures," "Reorganization of Services" and "Professional Acknowledgment." The findings may contribute to the development of targeted interventions and support systems to enhance resilience and well-being among healthcare workers.

This special issue presents interdisciplinary and innovative perspectives on family and individual resilience. In this introduction, the authors provide an overview of this collection of conceptual and empirical articles that are organized by four categories: families as contexts, families as systems, intervention and policy implications, and methodological considerations. In addition, the authors highlight how resilience was conceptualized and operationalized in these works. This special issue is intended to stimulate the further study of family and individual resilience, especially research that focuses on interdisciplinary collaboration which we feel will only enhance the understanding of this area of research.

Purpose
COVID-19 disrupted the usual way of working for many people across the globe, making full-time work from home and hybrid models two popular work arrangements. Despite the proliferation and high acceptance of the hybrid model, very little research has focused on the same. This study aims to compare the impact of transitions caused by remote work on work disengagement under two settings: remote work and hybrid model.
Design/methodology/approach
The data is collected from three corporate hubs in India: Hyderabad, Gurgaon and Bangalore. This study's respondents represent two working models: full-time work from home and a hybrid model. Responses were collected using Google forms-based questionnaire, which resulted in the following usable responses: 356 (hybrid) and 398 (work from home).
Findings
The findings reveal that the structural model for the hybrid sector explained 11% of the variance in work disengagement, while the same for work from home model accounted for 20% of the variance in work disengagement. The authors also tested for the moderation of individual resilience between work-home and home-to-work conflicts and home-to-work transitions and work-to-home conflict under full-time work-from and hybrid models. Based on 356 respondents from hybrid category and 398 from work from home, the study found that employees experience less work-to-home and home-to-work conflicts in the hybrid model and employees experience more work-to-home and home-to-work conflicts in the full-time work from home model.
Originality/value
The study is also the first to examine the moderating role of individual resilience as a tool to bounce back and handle conflicts. As the full-time work from home model leads to more work-to-home and home-to-work conflicts, individuals have more scope to exhibit resilience, and thus, the moderating relationship is stronger in the full-time work from home model. The paper offers theoretical and managerial implications.

Governments move away from their roles as providers and take on roles as facilitators and enablers. Such transformations provide opportunities for individuals to play an active role in improving the resilience of their communities. However, the effects of such transformations may not be experienced by all communities equally. In the light of the emerging enabling state, which entails a more proactive type of community, this article examines whether community projects can enhance the resilience of hard-to-reach rural communities. Analysis from 345 interviews with rural residents from six communities shows that successful completion of community projects can positively change perceptions of resilience, whereas uncompleted projects negatively affect perceptions of resilience. We conclude that for some hard-to-reach communities, in order to build their resilience, continuous funding support needs to be in place. To enhance the resilience of rural communities, the state must also create opportunities for effective community participation.

This study examines individual resilience as a central mechanism between work design and work-related outcomes in a context characterized by high demands and acute or prolonged adversity: child and youth welfare during an ongoing pandemic. Expanding on a survey of 602 German professionals, structural equation modeling is applied to analyze (1) the relationship between work design and individual resilience, (2) the relationship between individual resilience and work-related outcomes, and (3) the role of individual resilience as a mediator. The results reveal positive relationships between two work design factors (social impact and feedback) and individual resilience. Other work design factors that have been much debated in the context of the pandemic (i.e., working from home and client contact) were not related to individual resilience. In turn, individual resilience is favorably related to job satisfaction and emotional exhaustion. The results also confirm the mediating role of individual resilience.
