Abstract
While Organizational Psychology typically emphasizes job-level characteristics, a social simulation perspective suggests that integrating empirically validated micromechanisms via feedback loops can significantly reinforce process resilience at a granular level. We introduce a prototypical process model integrating psychological constructs with empirical data. By addressing shortcomings identified during the modelling phase, it proposes an interdisciplinary research agenda, focusing on task-level measurements, team-level constructs, and the practical application of these findings. Beyond identifying mental health state as a key variable in operational resilience, the simulation results reveals significant potential for optimization by enhancing working conditions and reorganizing workflows to account for individual variability.
