Resilience and Endurance to Role Stress: Does Resilience Enhance Endurance to Role Stress?

Abstract

Due to an increase in the competitive environment employees are facing a tremendous increase in stress, which is not only affecting their professional life but personal life as well. To face such situations developing resilience as a skill will surely result as a great help. In present research an attempt has been made to understand how resilience can help in developing endurance to cope with role stress, with the help of an empirical study. It will also help to extend the knowledge that variables like self-efficacy, positive outlook, internal locus of control, humour, hardiness, and assertiveness help in developing resilience. Mixed method approach is used to conduct the study. Both the methods qualitative and quantitative have been used in the research. This method gives a clearer approach for better understanding of the concepts and generalization of the findings. The authors validate that resilience helps in developing endurance to cope with role stress. Through empirical study the relationship between both the variables resilience and endurance to role stress is studied. The obtained value of r-0.764 depicts that there is a positive and strong correlation between resilience and endurance to role stress.  The paper consolidates existing understanding towards relationship between resilience and endurance to roles stress, contributing to the respective domain of behavioural science and education sector.
