“…It is generally accepted that hardy individuals do not experience life events that are qualitatively different from those experienced by non-hardy individuals. However, the former are more likely to perceive the events they experience as positive and also to see themselves as being in control than are the latter (5,6).…”

Background: Psychological hardiness is a protective personality characteristic against life stresses that plays a major role in improving one's ability to cope with environmental pressures. Objectives: Thus, the present study aimed to evaluate the mental health status, psychological hardiness, and the correlation between the two in workers of the Pars special economic energy zone in 2010 with a special emphasis on demographic factors, such as age, sex, marital status, job status, field of action, and job experience. Materials and Methods:This was an analytical cross-sectional study conducted amongst 743 workers of the Pars special economic energy zone. Stratified sampling was carried out. Data were collected using a general health questionnaire, a psychological hardiness scale, and a demographic characteristics questionnaire. Frequency distribution, means and standard deviations (SD) were calculated; Spearman's ρ test, Kruskal-Wallis, and Mann-Whitney U-test for evaluating the correlation between the variables were also used. The cut-off value for statistical significance was set at 0.05 or lower. Results: Findings showed that the mental health score had significant but reverse correlation with psychological hardiness (P = 0.002, r = -0.50). In 44% of the workers, the general health questionnaire score was higher than the cut-off point; the psychological hardiness score in this group of workers was also significantly lower than those with a mental health score below the cut-off point. This study also demonstrated that female gender, a younger age, being single or widowed, being a non-rotational shift worker, and working in the operational units were associated with poorer mental health and a lower psychological hardiness score. Conclusions: Findings of this study showed the importance of psychological hardiness in maintaining mental health. Special attention should be paid to maintaining and improving the mental health of workers in the Pars special economic energy zone. One of the main principles involved in the sustainable and integrated development of a company is healthy human resources in all aspects, including physical, mental, and social health. Therefore, the current situation necessitates designing evidence-based interventions focusing on vulnerable subgroups.

“…Por el contrario, el compromiso organizacional puede propiciar que los trabajadores sientan que son capaces de llevar a cabo su trabajo, a pesar de las turbulencias del entorno y les hace sentirse seguros de sí mismos, por lo que les afecta menos el estrés. El compromiso organizacional entonces protege a los empleados de los efectos negativos del estrés porque los habilita para mantener la dirección y el significado en su trabajo (Kobasa, 1982;Begley y Czajka, 1993), siendo éste es el enfoque que nos parece más apropiado para el sector de la banca.…”

<p>La crisis económica de los últimos años ha impactado especialmente en el sector financiero y se ha hecho sentir tanto en el estrés que soportan los empleados de las sucursales de bancos y cajas como en sus niveles de compromiso con la empresa. En este trabajo se analizan los componentes del compromiso laboral en una muestra de 102 trabajadores del sector de la banca confirmándose las dimensiones clásicas del modelo de Allen y Meyer (1996). La relación causal del compromiso con el estrés se testa con un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales dando por resultado que cuanto mayor es el compromiso de la plantilla, menores son los niveles de estrés. Como conclusión se señalan las medidas de gestión del capital humano que podrían mejorar los niveles de compromiso en este sector.</p><p>The economic crisis of recent years has particularly impacted the financial sector. It has been felt in both, the stress endured by employees of banks and the levels of commitment to the company. In this paper the components of employee engagement are analyzed in a sample of 102 workers to confirm the classic dimensions from Allen y Meyer (1996) in banks workers. The causal relationship between employee engagement and stress is tested with a structural equation model. The result is that the higher the commitment of the workforce, the lower the stress levels. In conclusion, proper human capital management could improve engagement levels in the bank sector.</p><h1></h1>

“…Dedication is characterized by a signi ied enthusiasm, inspiration, pride, and challenge. Moreover, it was articulated that a strong commitment gives employees a sense of accomplishment for their job that shields a person from the negative effects of stressors (Kobasa, 1982). The opposing point of view is that a greater commitment increases employees' exposure to the harmful effects of stressors.…”

The goal of this research was to describe the experiences of teachers in Davao City, Philippines with multiple ancillary functions. Employing phenomenological approach among 18 teacher participants, in-depth interview, and focus group discussion were conducted. Results revealed that most of the participants experienced positive gains from their experiences which challenged them to aspire more advancement for themselves. Themes generated were endurance, perseverance, risk-taking competence, and determination. Coping mechanisms of the participants included proper planning and time management, optimism and positivity, achieving life-work balance, and inspiration and support system. Despite the rigors of life as teachers with multiple ancillary functions, they shared positive insights about their experiences on commitment and dedication, being positive, prospects for growth and development, and as a testament of faith and trust in one's abilities.
