Abstract


Sudden layoffs due to COVID-19 pose financial and psychological challenges, with effects on the mental health of remaining employees. Gratitude is proposed as a moderating variable in this study, with the hope of being able to moderate the relationship between layoffs, cut salary, and employee mental health. This research was conducted at the Convection in East Lampung with the number of respondents as many as 197 employees. Data analysis using the interaction test is often referred to as Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA). The results of this study indicate that gratitude mediates the relationship between layoffs, cut salary, and employee mental health. Gratitude can be an alternative to improve employee mental health.
