Background & Aims of the Study: This study aimed to predict impulsive behavior based on
responsibility and resilience in employees of Qom Municipality, Qom City, Iran.
Materials and Methods: The research method was descriptive-correlational in terms of
applied objectives and terms of the data collection method. The study population comprised
all employees of Qom Municipality in 2019-20, which was 3300 people. Among them, 250
people were selected using the available sampling method and the Cochran formula. The study
data were collected using impulsive behavior, responsibility, and resilience questionnaires. The
obtained data were analyzed using multiple regression analysis (stepwise method).
Results: The results of stepwise multiple regression analysis showed that a decrease of one unit
in “responsibility and resilience” by 0.767 and 0.105 units, respectively, increases the score of
“impulsive behavior” of employees. Also, the results of the Pearson correlation analysis showed
a negative and significant relationship between responsibility and impulsive behavior (P<0.01,
r=-0.793) and a negative and significant relationship between resilience and impulsive behavior
(P<0.01, r=-0.291).
Conclusion: It is concluded that impulsive behavior is predicted based on responsibility and
resilience in municipal employees
