Purpose: The aim of the paper is to investigate the relationship between mental resilience and satisfaction with life on the empirical level. Whereas, on the theoretical level we aim to investigate the organisational factors, organisational stress in particular, that can influence the relationship in question. Design/Methodology/Approach: Tools: Satisfaction with Life Scale, Polish adaptation of Ego Resiliency Scale. Sample 360 subjects (211 females and 149 males). Average age: 24.78. Findings: We hypothesised that: H1: There is a positive relationship between mental resilience and SWL, H2: Males exhibit a greater level of mental resilience than woman. Hypothesis number 1 was confirmed. However, it turned out that there are no gender differences in resilience. Practical implications: Resilience trainings should be implemented in the organisations, because this trait fosters employees well-being also through the assumed mitigating the effects of the organisational stress. Originality/value: Embedding resilience – SWL relationship in a specific context of industrial organisations.
