*4.2. Recommendations for Future Research*

Future research should be carried out on the experience, attributes, and importance of resilience among professionals and workers at all levels in order to understand all the nuances of how one develops and exercises resilience in the face of workplace disrespect. Further, research on the development and impact of self-respect on resilience and success in the workplace should be studied more. Research should include a focus on the role self-respect plays in the organizational context and whether self-respect can be cultivated in adults. Researchers can clarify the difference between self-esteem and self-respect. Self-respecting individuals are motivated by a fundamental belief that, despite their circumstances, they and others are equally unique contributors to the greater whole [27]. This has implications for understanding, developing, and enhancing resilience, independence, and strength in individuals from marginalized groups in the workplace and should form the basis of future research [28].
