Abstract

The aim of the current research was determining the mediating role of workplace loneliness (WL) in the effect of resilience on work alienation (WA). This study was conducted in Istanbul, Türkiye, between June 2021 and November 2021. Research data were obtained from nurses working in private hospitals operating in Istanbul. The results of the research showed that resilience had a negative effect on WL and WA, and WL had a positive effect on WA. Finally, WL had a mediating role in the effect of resilience on WA. This study showed that resilience is a determinant of both WL and WA.
