The Role of Psychological Resilince in Maintaining Work-Family Balance: An Application for Tourism Employees

Abstract

People spend most of their life in work and family environments, where they play different roles. This study aims to reveal the effect level of psychological resilience in maintaining the balance between work and family life of employees working in the tourism sector. In line with the determined purpose, a questionnaire study was applied to the tourism employees working in the Cappadocia Region. Based on the interactional suggestions obtained from the literature, a structural equation model was established in which resilience is the predictor and work and family balance is the predicted variable. When the fit values of the model and the path coefficients between the variables were examined, it was concluded that psychological resilience was effective in maintaining both work- and family-life balance in employees. These results underline the need for employees to have a psychologically resilient mood to maintain work-life and family-life balances. However, due to some unique structural features of the tourism sector, both the psychological resilience levels of the employees and the work-family balance averages yielded results below the desired level. For this reason, in the conclusion part of the study, practical suggestions that can be carried out both personally and administratively to increase the psychological resilience and work-family life balance of the employees are included.
