The Role of Assertiveness and Perfectionism in the Resiliency of the Staff of a Military Unit

The present study aimed to determine the role of Assertiveness and perfectionism in the flexibility of Action (Resiliency) of employees of a military complex.The present research is a descriptive-cross sectional study. From this, 100 personnel of two military complex, 80 employees were selected by simple random sampling and responded to Gambrill & Richey's Assertiveness Questionnaires (1975), Positive and Negative Perfectionism of Terry-Short et al. (1995), and the resilience scale of Connor and Davidson (2003). Data analysis was done using Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple linear regression with the enter method and SPSS20 software.The results indicated that there is a direct and significant relationship between Assertiveness and positive perfectionism with employee's Resiliency and there is a significant indirect relationship between negative perfectionism and Resiliency (P <0.01). Regression analysis showed that positive perfectionism (β = 0.034, P = 0.005) and negative (β = -0.19, P = 0.004) and assertiveness (β = 0.20, P = 0.007) predicted a total of 27% of the changes in employee's Resiliency.Military personnel can enhance personal self-efficacy by improving Assertiveness and positive perfectionism, and increase their resiliency through prevention of negative perfectionism.
