Abstract

The wellbeing of an individual is important for his or her long-term survival. To be in good wellbeing, we must have a positive trait during a normal situation or the pandemic. Self endurance is one of these traits. Individual self endurance is the ability to endure an unpleasant or arduous process or situation without giving way. During the pandemic, most employees in the public and private sectors were facing difficulties on their daily-life and work-life. Thus, this research aims to understand the dimensions and develop the self endurance model among employees in the public and private sectors. This research also aimed to assess the correlations of the dimensions of Self endurance with their wellbeing. The sample of the study is the employee working in the public and private organization in the nation. Self-employed questionnaires were distributed among the employees in the public and private sectors’ organizations through an online survey. The study discovered that employees in the public and private sectors had a positive correlation between their self endurance toward their wellbeing. Unfortunately, the components of self endurance, namely problem solver-oriented, determination-oriented, action-oriented, and opportunity-oriented had no significant correlation toward wellbeing. The output of this research is useful to employers in the manufacturing industries and relevant government authorities on human resources. The findings also will shed some light on the area of self endurance and wellbeing of employees in the nation’s “Malaysia Madani†specifically in line with the nation’s SDG on the employees’ self endurance and wellbeing.
