Impact of Resilience Capacity on Work Life Balance and Job Performance of Executives in the Pharmaceutical Industry

The Indian pharmaceutical sector is marked by fierce competition, innovations, research and development, increasing employment and assurance of improved quality in the health sector; severe regulatory framework etc. The executives play a critical role in the performance and the growth of the industry. In doing so, they need to perform their best on the job and are also supposed to strike a fine or satisfactory balance between the time and efforts they devote both in their work and personal life. Given the demands, pressures, stress, workload etc. caused by competition, requirement of best performance and a strong sense of social responsibility, it becomes very challenging to give one's best performance both at work and in personal life. As such, the positive construct known as resilience greatly impacts the psychology and behaviour of executives.
