Abstract

The present study examines the effective factors on hardiness in various professions in Kermanshah, Iran. We try to measure the hardiness level using standard questionnaires. To do so, using clustering sampling, 12 occupational groups including bakery, jewelry, confectionary, supermarket, coffee net, construction materials, clothing, footwear retail, mobile retail, stationery, airline agencies and cosmetic have been selected (50 people from each group and 600 people in total). Then, data analysis including analysis of variance (ANOVA) and linear regression has been performed through SPSS. The results of analysis showed that the factors such as education, cultural capital, gender, work experience and health have significant effects on hardiness. Furthermore, the results indicated that the test of equality of means of hardiness for the occupational groups is rejected.
