The Role of Resilience in the Attitudes of Job Satisfaction and Organizational Commitment

Abstract

The aim of this study was to discover the role of resilience as an element of organizational psychological capital on job satisfaction and organizational commitment as primary result variables of organizational context. The research sample is composed of 257 bank employees. The data were collected by the survey method with using Resilience Scale, Job Satisfaction Scale and Organizational Commitment Scale. The structural equation modeling was employed for the analysis with using Amos 16.0 statistical program. Results showed that resilience as capacity of bouncing back, focusing the success and sustaining the that away goal to achieve success in the face of difficulties and problems has significant relations with job satisfaction (β=0,21; p<0.01) and organizational commitment (β=0,13; p<0.01) that associated with success and performance in the organizational context. Ultimately the probable results that stated relations may bring are discussed in the organizational context.
