THE EFFECT OF RESILIENCE ON THE JOB STRESS: A STUDY ON HOSPITAL EMPLOYEES

Summary/Abstract: Aim: Individuals might encounter various negative situations throughout their lives. As the resilience of individuals increases, they are more likely to deal with these problems easily. The higher resilience is an important advantage for individuals in their working life and provides various benefits to employees in many ways. One of the benefits of resilience is that it decreases the job stress of employees. In this study it is aimed to determine whether the resilience and job stress levels of hospital employees differ in line with the demographic characteristics, and to determine the relationship between resilience and job stress levels. Method: This research was performed in Istanbul between January 2020 and May 2020. The data of this research was collected from individuals who work in private hospitals in Istanbul through the survey method. 391 survey forms were filled within the scope of research. Findings: In the research, it is determined that the resilience and job stress levels of the participants were at a moderate level. It was found that the resilience and job stress levels of the participants do not differ statistically in terms of their age, education level, and working time in the current hospital. However, it was found that the resilience and job stress levels of the participants differ statistically in terms of their gender and the task of the hospital. Depending on the research results, a statistically significant, negative, and moderate relationship was found between resilience and job stress. Furthermore, it was found that resilience affects job stress negatively. Results: The results of this research shows that resilience is a determinant of job stress. Under the light of these research results, it is suggested that the hospital administrations should give some efforts to increase the resilience of the employees and to reduce job stress.
