Employee Life Satisfaction: The Role of COVID-19-Related Fear and Worries and Employee Resources

Abstract

The aim of the study was to explore the factors that could alleviate the negative consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic on employee life satisfaction. We analyzed personal resources such as belief in free will and self-evaluated work efficiency, as well as condition and energy resources related to working conditions (i.e., employment stability, remuneration, and change on mode of work) as moderators of the relationship between COVID-19 fear and COVID-19 worries and life satisfaction. The results showed that life satisfaction among employees was negatively associated with COVID-19 worries, belief in free will and remuneration level. However, it was not associated with COVID-19 fear. The results also indicate that belief in free will may be a personal resource that increases life satisfaction only when the level of this arousal is low in the case of worries of COVID-19.
