Psychological Resiliency in the Public Sector: "Hardiness" and Pressure for Change.

Rush, Michael C.; And Others

Journal of Vocational Behavior, v46 n1 p17-39 Feb 1995

Psychological hardiness had a negative impact on stress and a positive impact on satisfaction. Hardiness may serve as a significant counterforce to the effects of pressure. (SK)
