Abstract

Background: Nowadays, resiliency is one of the determining factors of people responses to stressful issues and mental well-being. The aim of present study was to investigate the effectiveness of resiliency promotion training on self-efficacy and work-family conflict of satellite employees in Iranian Oil Terminals Company (IOTC). Methods: This study was quasi-experimental with pre-test, post-test and follow-up design. The statistical population included the satellite employees of IOTC. Using a convenience sampling method, 30 employees were selected and randomly assigned into two experimental and control groups (each 15 participants). To collect the data, general self-efficacy questionnaire and work-family conflict questionnaire were used at the beginning, at the end of the training, and after one month. The experimental group received training in 9 sessions of 90 minutes for one month, but the control group did not receive any training. Data analysis was performed by multivariate analysis of covariance in SPSS software. Results: The effect of the resiliency promotion training on the research variables was significant in each of the post-test and follow-up stages. The rate of this effect in improving self-efficacy and work-family conflict was 98.8% in post-test and 99.8% in follow-up. There is a significant difference between the control group and the experimental group in the self-efficacy and work-family conflict variables in the post-test and follow-up stages (p <0.001). Conclusion: The results revealed that resiliency promotion training was effective on self-efficacy and work-family conflict of satellite employees in the post-test stage and the effects of training remained in the follow-up stage.
