The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of technological adaptation and social support on resilience at the workplace among IT employees in Bangalore. Employee resilience now depends on their ability to adjust to new technologies as they continue to change the workplace. Various factors, including support from supervisors, peers, and family, influence this adaptation process. The purpose of this study is to examine the role of technology adaptation and social support in producing resilience at the workplace and to provide a conceptual framework that will be used in future studies around this topic. For the study, few research tools were applied, they were correlation and linear regression analysis, it was conducted to evaluate the relationship between these variables. The findings revealed no significant correlation between technology adaptation and resilience, while family support was found to positively influence resilience. These results have more scope for further exploration of the complex dynamics between technology, social support, and resilience, providing effective information for organizations to implement change in a effective manner.
