Abstract
This study examines the influence of career satisfaction on employee resilience within the context of Lagos State Government workers, aiming to fill the gap in empirical evidence regarding this relationship in the Nigerian population. Utilizing a cross-sectional design, the research surveyed 200 participants using the Greenhaus and Hordlife scales to measure career satisfaction and employee resilience, respectively. Data analysis involved descriptive statistics and frequency distributions. Findings indicated there are no significant gender differences in resilience levels; however, employees aged 46 and above reported higher resilience compared to younger age groups. Additionally, a positive correlation was found between career satisfaction and resilience, suggesting that higher career satisfaction enhances employee resilience. The study contributes to understanding the impact of career satisfaction on resilience among Nigerian workers and highlights the importance of considering these factors in policy-making.
