Employee resiliency has emerged as a crucial factor in sustaining workforce performance and organizational stability, particularly in industries characterized by high operational demands and environmental uncertainty such as food-related businesses. This study examined the determinants of employee resiliency in Region XII, Philippines, focusing on financial literacy, entrepreneurial capability, and organizational learning capability as key predictive variables. A descriptive-causal research design was employed to determine both the levels of the variables and their predictive relationships with employee resiliency. The study involved 305 employees from various food-related businesses selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using validated survey instruments and analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and multiple regression analysis. Findings revealed that financial literacy, entrepreneurial capability, and organizational learning capability were all rated at high to very high levels. Correlation analysis showed significant positive relationships between all independent variables and employee resiliency. Regression results indicated that organizational learning capability was the strongest predictor, followed by entrepreneurial capability and financial literacy. The study concludes that employee resiliency is significantly influenced by both individual competencies and organizational support systems. The findings provide important implications for human resource development, organizational policy, and workforce sustainability in the food industry. Strengthening learning environments and enhancing employee capabilities are essential strategies for building resilient organizations.
