Lately, organizations are giving attention to enhancing employee resilience due to turbulent
economic times caused by lockdowns in the last couple of years. This explanatory research proposes
and tests the mediating role of employee resilience to link task challenge and employee performance
during the COVID-19 pandemic in government schools of Oman using the broaden-and-build theory.
An explanatory research design was used for this empirical study. An Arabic-translated questionnaire
version was designed to collect primary data online during the lockdown using simple random
sampling. We used the Preacher and Hayes macro to analyze moderated mediation using
cross-sectional data and analyzed 441 responses. The findings confirm the mediation roles of
employee resilience and moderating roles of digitalization during unusual circumstances. The
study has implications for the school administrators, Omani policymakers and schooling staff of the
Middle Eastern educational industry
