Description
Summary:The current research aims to explore the relationship between resilience and quality of work life in a sample of academic faculties in gulf universities (Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Oman). The research aims also to test differences among the sample in resilience and quality of work life in the light of some demographic variables (gender and scientific specialty), in addition to investigating the ability of resilience in predicting quality of work life. Sample of the research included 110 (34 Qataris, 39 Saudis and 37 Omanis). Resilience scale (Smith et al., 2008) and quality of work life (Swamy, Nanjundeswaraswamy, Rashmi, 2015) were administrated after being translated and validated on the Arab settings. Preliminary results show a statistically significant positive relationship between resilience and quality of work life, and difference attributed to gender and academic specialty. Resilience predicted some dimensions of quality of work life.
