“…It may be that families have a protective mechanism as a source of social support (Elashi et al., 2020; Nasrabadi et al., 2021). Protective factors at the community level include factors such as social institutions, religious centers, peer groups, and positive relationships with neighbors (Brooks, 2006; Gizir, 2004; Taylor, 2007; Vincent, 2007; Yates & Masten, 2004). These three levels have an important influence on the individual as recognized in the socio‐ecological literature (Allen & Kern, 2017, 2019; Allen et al., 2016, 2018; Bronbrenner, 1979).…”

Background Resilience is defined as an individual's ability to recover from difficulties and overcome challenges and adversity. Recognizing and measuring internal and external protective factors have been identified as important processes for building resilience, yet to date, no valid, and reliable scales of resilience in the Persian language have been developed that recognize both internal and external protective factors. Methods The present study was to translate the protective factors of resilience scale (PFRS) from English to Persian and analyze its psychometric properties among Iranians. Convenience sampling was used to gather data from January 2021 to February 2021 through digital internet scales, and 6 scales, including PFRS, Ryff's psychological well‐being scale, Rosenberg self‐esteem scale, life orientation test‐revised, positive and negative affect schedule, and short version of resilience scale (RS), were completed by 265 participants aged from 15 to 56. So, the aim of this study is to investigate the psychometric properties of protective factors of resilience scale among Iranians. Results The results of the face, content, and construct validity revealed that the Persian version of the PFRS measure had acceptable validity and reliability. The Cronbach alpha for the whole scale was 0.88, and the value of the content validity index was above 0.7. A confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the three‐factor structure model of the scale (fit indices: CMIN/df = 2.51, p < .01; comparative fit index = 0.94, goodness of fit index = 0.90, root mean squared error of approximation = 0.07). Conclusion In conclusion, the Persian version of the protective factors of resilience is a reliable and valid measurement to assess the protective factors and internal and external protective factors of resilience in Iranians.

The study aimed to looked into the influence of financial prudence of employees towards employees’ interest towards graduate study. In this study, the researcher selected the 100 government employees in Local Government Unit (LGU) in Koronadal City as the respondents of the study. Stratified random sampling technique was utilized in the selection of the respondents. Non-experimental quantitative research design using descriptive-correlational method was employed. The data collected were subjected to the following statistical tools: Mean, Pearson Moment Product Correlation and Regression Analysis. Findings revealed that financial prudence and employees’ interest in graduate study were rated as extensive. Further, correlation analysis demonstrated that there is a significant relationship between financial prudence and employees’ interest towards graduate study in Koronadal City. Evidently, regression analysis proved that financial prudence in terms of financial resources and financial goals identification significantly influenced the employees’ interest towards graduate study in Koronadal City. Local Government Unit (LGU) should introduce initiatives that promote financial literacy and prudence among employees, including workshops, seminars, and educational resources tailored to the specific financial needs and challenges associated with pursuing graduate study.
