Abstract: (1240 Views)
Background & Aims of the Study: Occupational stress is a psychological condition that
occurs due to an imbalance between occupational needs and individual abilities. Resilience is
an approach to cope with occupational stress. This study aimed to investigate the relationship
between different dimensions of occupational stress and the level of resilience in the employees
of an oil refinery.
Materials and Methods: This descriptive-analytical study was performed on 275 operational
staff of an oil refinery in southern Iran in 2020. The study participants were selected using a
simple random sampling method. Due to the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic,
the tools used included three electronic questionnaires, demographic information, Osipow
occupational stress questionnaire, and the Connor- Davidson Resilience Scale. The collected
data were analyzed in SPSS v. 22 using descriptive tests, Pearson correlation test, one-way
Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), and linear regression analysis.
Results: The Pearson correlation test data indicated that different dimensions of occupational stress,
including occupational scope, responsibility, and physical environment, also, the total score of
occupational stress, have a significant negative correlation with the resilience score of individuals.
The highest correlation concerned the physical environment dimension, with a coefficient of -0.189.
Conclusion: We can increase employees’ resilience by improving the working environment
and raising people’s awareness of occupational responsibility; it can reduce occupational stress
among employees.
