The effect of resiliency promotion training package on self-efficacy and work-family conflict

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).

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.

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).

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.
