“…Frontline healthcare workers in hospitals have been among the most vulnerable members of the population since the Covid 19 pandemic, affecting not only physical but also mental health (Mantaring M.A.S., Bello, M.S.A et al, 2022) [6].

Purpose: The study examines the mediating effect of self-emotion appraisal and other-emotion appraisal on psychological safety, individual resilience, and organizational commitment at the workplace. Design/methodology/approach: This study generated 140 survey responses from workers in diverse occupations and industries during the COVID-19 pandemic. A mixed-methods data analysis was conducted. Hierarchical regression analysis was employed to test the hypotheses, and process macroanalysis was used to generate the mediation analysis. Qualitative data analysis through thematic coding was adopted to interpret the respondents’ written opinions and narratives. Findings: The results revealed that self-emotion appraisal strongly correlates to resilience, but evaluation of self-emotion has no effect on organizational commitment. Other-emotion appraisal and psychological safety are not significant predictors of resilience at the workplace. Rather, psychological safety is a significant predictor of organizational commitment. The qualitative analysis generated from the respondents’ narratives provides deeper insight into the quantitative results. Additional data that emerged from the qualitative interpretation revealed other factors that are related to emotional appraisal, psychological safety, resilience, and organizational commitment. Practical implications: The findings shed light on the need to understand an individual’s emotional appraisal when instilling workplace resilience. Further, promoting psychological safety, such as by involving employees in the change process, managing fairness perception, and eliciting trust, enhances organizational commitment in the workplace. Integrating open communication, management intervention, and coaching programmes should form part of the employee engagement and development functions to help build organizational resilience and commitment. Originality/value: This research is an original contribution conducted during the global health crisis that led to abrupt changes in the workers’ lives and the workplaces in Singapore. Research implications: This present study demonstrated constructive findings on emotion regulations and perceived psychological safety associated with resilience and commitment amid the disruptive changes in work practices at the workplace. Further, the outcome of the study shows the mediating effect of self-emotional appraisal on psychological safety and resilience. The result draws parallels with past literature that showed that individuals who appraised their emotions tended to recalibrate and recognize their subjective behaviour and take actions to modify it. Social implications: Emotion regulation connotes employees’ emotion coping strategies, and research showed that emotion reappraisal produces a positive effect on workplace relationship quality.

“…Studies regarding the COVID-19 pandemic revealed its harmful impact on mental health of workers, subsequently affecting their overall wellbeing. [23,24] However, this pandemic is not the sole reason for issues on mental health and wellbeing. Evidence suggests that there are other key players such as heavy workload, [25,26] workplace safety issues [27,28] and office's physical setup.…”

Background: The mental health and well-being of PhilHealth frontline workers were investigated to inform decision-makers and organizations in developing policies and programs to promote welfare of employees, thereby subsequently improving productivity and service delivery. Objectives: The study aimed to describe the demographic profile of participants and their level of mental health and well-being as well as to determine if a significant relationship exists between the said variables. Methodology: This is descriptive research that gathered respondents’ socio-demographic data. The target population was PhilHealth frontline workers all over the Philippines. Two existing self-report scales were used to measure the mental health and well-being of respondents. Statistical tools were then used to interpret data. Results: The majority of demographic factors were related to mild anxiety levels. The mean scores suggest that ages 20-29 are more anxious than those aged 50 and above. Other findings noted that the position title of Administrative Aide III and place of assignment in PhilHealth Regional Office II and XII showed a severe level of anxiety. Mean scores also showed mild anxiety as the length of years working in the corporation increased. In conclusion, age, years in service and place of assignment have a significant negative impact on participants’ mental health. Conclusion: In conclusion, age, years in service and the place of assignment were the variables found to have a statistically recognizable impact on mental health and well-being of PhilHealth frontline workers. These findings were considered in proposing Mental Health Programs for PhilHealth employees. Key words: Mental Health, Well-being, Frontliner, PhilHealth
