ABSTRACT
Introduction: Resilience may be defined as the capacity of an individual to grow, be strong and even succeed despite adver-sity. Hence the presence in enterprises of a work team whose aim is to support and foster actions contributing to the spread of individual and organizational resilient behavior. Objective: Analyze the level of resilience in workers from a Venezuelan concrete producing enterprise. Methods: A field non-experimental descriptive study was conducted. The psychometric properties of resilience were presented through the 14-Item Resilience Scale as applied to 73 workers aged 18-61 years, of whom 37 were operators and 36 were administrative employees. Results: The resilience level of workers was 44.84, which classifies as low. It was found that women were more resilient than men and administrative workers were more resilient than operators. Female workers with a high resilience level showed greater discipline capacity, and workers with normal and low levels presented self-esteem as a protective factor. Conclusions: Workers from the study enterprise have a low overall resilience level, coinciding with signs of work apathy, disinterest in the tasks assigned, unjustified absences to work and resignations for no apparent reason. Results suggest that the resilience factors underlying this behavior are related to the variables age, sex, marital status, educational level and em-ployment conditions.REFERENCES
