Resilience is defined as an individual’s ability to cope with current risks and dangers in the environment, in other words, this is a kind of flexibility in the face of environmental problems. In addition, nowadays employees are more willing to participate in organizational decisions and activities. Job involvement has positive results in organizations, and causes the employees have more participation and enjoy for being a member in organization. Employees with high job involvement, would take lot of energy, dedicate himself/ herself and absorb in his/ her work. This study scrutinize the relationship between resilience and dimensions of job involvement (Taking energy, dedicating and absorbing). For this purpose, 200 employees in three public universities of Iran (Shahid Beheshti University, Allameh Tabatabae'i and Yazd University) are selected by convenience sampling. Then they are evaluated by the Shawfly and Becker questionnaire and the Connor- Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISK). To analyze data Structural Equation Modeling is used and finally, the results show that there is a significance relationship between resilience and dimensions of job involvement.

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.
