Abstract
In Chapter 1, we explored the individual side of the equation presented in Figure 2.1, and we summarized these resources by grouping them into four broad clusters: Confidence, Social Support, Adaptability
How on-the-job experiences can help to build personal resilience
and Purposefulness. This sets the foundation for individuals to evaluate the existing state of their personal resilience resources. We also provided an overview of some of the available measures of adult resilience, most of which tap into all four components to some extent. This brings us to a more detailed exploration of the other side of the picture—the situation, and in particular the work context.
