Abstract :The aim of this research is to determine the levels of psychological resilience and job satisfaction and to examine the relationship between these two variables in relation to various factors. The study employed a quantitative research method using a survey model. For this purpose, 392 teachers working at primary, middle, and high school levels affiliated with the National Education Directorate in the central districts of Sakarya Province participated in the research. To assess the teachers\' levels of psychological resilience, the Psychological Resilience Scale for Adults, developed by Friborg et al. (2003) and adapted into Turkish by Basım and Çetin (2011), was used. To determine job satisfaction levels, the Job Satisfaction Scale developed by Brayfield and Rothe (1951) and adapted by Judge et al. (1998) was utilized. The obtained data were analysed using the SPSS program, and the findings were interpreted. It was observed that teachers\' levels of psychological resilience and job satisfaction were at a moderate level. Teachers\' levels of psychological resilience did not show statistically significant differences based on gender, age, subject area, type of school, professional seniority, and tenure at the institution. Job satisfaction levels did not show statistically significant differences based on gender, subject area, and tenure at the school. However, job satisfaction levels showed statistically significant differences based on age, type of school, and professional seniority. Additionally, it can be said that as the levels of psychological resilience increase, teachers\' job satisfaction also increases.
