Abstract

The assessment of staff resilience at work and the following assessment of the effectiveness of interventions aimed at increasing the resilience of the employees requires valid and reliable instruments. The purpose of this systematic review was assessing the psychometric properties of workplace resilience measurement scales. Four electronic databases including PUBMED, Web of Science, SCOPUS, and Google Scholar were searched using keyword “resilience” combined with “instruments,” “tool,” “in-ventory,” “questionnaire,” “scale,” “workplace,” “staff,” and “occupational” with Boolean operators OR and AND. Two of the authors, independently, assessed the process of data gathering and the quality of psychometric properties of the tools using Terwee et al. (2007) study. We found 11 instruments, no-ne of which covered all aspects of psychometric properties of the Terwee criteria. Because of the recent development of many of the staff resilience assessment instruments, it seems they need more time to be assessed properly. Besides, due to the different nature of different occupations, and differing cultures and backgrounds, there is a need for the development of the staff resilience at workplace assessment instruments convenient for the local needs. © 2020 Cises.
