چکیده

The present study sought to scrutinize the relationship between Iranian EFL teachers’ self-resilience and psychological distress. Also, through semi-structured interviews, the study tried to explore the prominent causes of psychological distress among EFL teachers. To this end, a total of ۱۰۲ EFL teachers (including ۵۵ males and ۴۷ females) from various language institutes in Shiraz were selected through a convenience sampling procedure method to participate in the current study. To measure self-resilience of EFL teachers the Connor-Davidson Resilience scale (۲۰۰۳) was utilized. In addition, the modified version of Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K۱۰, Kessler, ۱۹۹۶) was employed to gauge teachers’ psychological distress. The findings from Pearson product-moment correlation exhibited a significant negative correlation between teachers’ self-resiliency and their psychological distress. Moreover, the results from interviews revealed that job insecurity, underpayment, and heavy workload tended to be the most influential factors which lead to teachers’ physiological distress in the educational context. The pedagogical implications of the study help EFL teachers foster their self-resilience and consequently diminish the effects of psychological distress in their teaching profession.
