From a book on coaching within a retail environment
El equipo directivo de la filial de una prestigiosa cadena de gran distribución se sorprendió al constatar el alto nivel de compromiso y orgullo de los equipos, pero combinado con un sentido de la fatalidad que llevaba a la sumisión más que a la toma de iniciativas.
Podemos entender que el entorno cultural e histórico ha marcado a ese colectivo.
El Coaching de los líderes-coaches en tal caso debe adaptarse al *****terreno de la fatalidad*****, entendiendo que la generación de un contexto de confianza y el acompañamiento positivo serán de suma relevancia para generar la toma de acción individual.

fatalistic context / fatalism
I would be tempted to say "adapt to this fatalism", since the fatalism in question has already been mentioned in the previous paragraph.

One option.
pes·si·mism (ps-mzm)

2. The doctrine or belief that this is the worst of all possible worlds and that all things ultimately tend toward evil.
3. The doctrine or belief that the evil in the world outweighs the good.

I think it's referring to the current financial crisis. It's saying that many people are under the impression that even if they give their best, they will not obtain the results they expect/deserve. People give everything they've got but continually ask themselves, 'What's the point? No matter what I do, the crisis is stronger than me'.

prevailing resignation
And, for "sentido de la fatalidad," I would suggest: sense of resignation.
