The study attempts to capture the impact of the dynamic business environment created in the new normal on the workforce of information technology (IT) and manufacturing industries both socio-psychologically and in terms of work restructuring through a pan-India study. A structural relationship between initiate and received work interdependence on resilience at work and personal vision was tested. We do this by analysing the mediating role of learning orientation. We further explored the post-pandemic work restructuring from the stakeholders’ perspectives. We collected responses by administering a questionnaire to executives of 60 IT and 60 manufacturing companies through a Google form. 886 respondents completed the survey questionnaire which had both open-ended and closed-ended questions. Structural equation modelling with AMOS was used to analyse the relationship between constructs. Responses to open-ended questions were analysed using thematic analysis. We found a direct relationship between initiated work interdependence and personal vision, mediating serially through learning orientation and resilience. Interestingly, there was an inverse relationship between received work interdependence and personal vision, mediating serially through learning orientation and resilience at work. The key feature of work restructuring was found to be the emergence of gig economy, with conducive internal and external business environments as its facilitators. Stimulating initiated work interdependence can provide a holistic means of nurturing stakeholders’ motivation and participation for achieving work resiliency and work-related personal vision. This being achieved, could lead to the creation of a conducive environment for the success of the new work restructuring process. This study fills the gap in the literature by providing an integrated structural model that explains the relationship between work interdependence and resilience and highlights the role of learning orientation in achieving it, vis-à-vis their cumulative effect on work-related personal vision creation.
