The outbreak of novel coronavirus pneumonia(COVID-19) in late 2019 is a typical public health emergency. According to the previous studies on similar events and major infectious diseases, public health emergencies not only threaten people's life safety and health, interfere with people's work and life stability, but also have a strong impact on people's emotional health and social mentality. Previous studies have shown that strong employability under pressure is likely to help reduce individual negative emotions, however, there are few studies on the interaction effects of mental resilience and employability on emotions. Therefore, this study mainly studied how individual mental resilience regulates the relationship between employability and mental health under the pressure of epidemic situation, as well as to further explore the ways of people's self-psychological protection under the pressure of major public health events, thus the results would provide reference for mental health intervention.This study conducted a questionnaire survey among 1,632 people by using the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale, Short Forms of Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale, Short Forms of Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, Self-perceived Employability Scale and Background Information Questionnaire in February 2020, when the country delayed work resumption. After controlling for background information such as age, occupational, marriage and children, the results were as follows:（1）There was a significant negative correlation between employability and anxiety / depression. The stronger the employability, the less prone to anxiety and depression; the weaker the employability, the higher level of anxiety and depression.（2）There was a significant negative correlation between mental resilience and anxiety and depression. The higher the psychological resilience, the less prone to anxiety and depression; the lower the psychological resilience, the higher level of anxiety and depression.（3）Resilience moderated the relationship between employability and depression. Among the individuals with lower psychological resilience, the employability had a greater impact on depression than that of individuals with higher psychological resilience.Conclusion: Under the COVID-19 epidemic, higher psychological resilience and greater employability can help reduce the risks of anxiety and depression. At the same time, psychological resilience played a moderating role in the relationship between employability and depression.
