Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of resilience on job burnout. This is a descriptive correlational study clearly based on the structural equation modeling (SEM). The participants of this study were 234 primary worker of Gas Company of the Markazi Province that were selected via random method. Participants completed the Resilience Inventory (by Conner and Davidson, 2003) and the Job Burnout Inventory (by Maslach and Jackson(MBI),1986) Reliability and validity of these questionnaires was obtained. Results of the Pearson correlation showed that all resilience components and job burnout components are mutually correlated with each other (P<0/01(. Implementing structural equation modeling (SEM) for relationship between job burnout and resilience tests, we found that the proposed model has a good fit and job burnout is well explained by resilience. Also all of the model path coefficients were significant.
