Abstract

The aim of this study is to measure the mediating impact of psychological resilence on job satisfaction and intention to leave work. A total of 113 subjects were included in the sample by means of easy sampling method. A questionnaire form consisting of four parts was used as the data collection tool. In the first part, personal information form with demographic information, psychological resilience in the second section, job satisfaction scale in the third part and the measure of intention to leave in the fourth section were used. As a result of the study, a positive and significant relationship between job satisfaction and psychological resilience (β = 0.48; p <0.05), negative and significant relationship between psychological resilience and intention to quit (β = -0.23; p <0 , 05), there was a negative and significant relationship between job satisfaction and intention to leave (β = -0.57; p <0.05). There is no mediating effect of psychological resilience in the relationship between job satisfaction and job intention. The indirect effect of job satisfaction on the intention to leave from work (through psychological resilience) was -0.10 and this effect was not statistically significant (p> 0.05). Psychological resilience variable causes 7% change in the relationship between job satisfaction and intention to leave
