Abstract

The purpose of this study was to explore the moderating role of hardiness in the relationship between job stress and job satisfaction among industrial workers in Semnan province. Participants of this study comprised of 210 workers from Oghab Factory (Scania). The research instruments were the UK Occupational Health and Safety (1990), Spector's Job Satisfaction (1997), and Maddi's Hardiness (2006). The collected data were analyzed using structural equation modeling in AMOS-23. Results showed that psychological hardiness has a positive and significant relationship with job satisfaction and job stress has a negative and significant relationship with job satisfaction, and psychological hardiness has a negative and significant relationship with job stress. Multi-group analysis showed that there was a negative and significant relationship between job stress and job satisfaction in the low hardiness group, but in the high hardiness group, there was a significant relationship between job stress and job satisfaction. As a result, psychological hardiness showed a moderating role between job stress and job satisfaction, because the relationship between job stress and job satisfaction was significant in the low hardiness group, but this path was not significant in the high hardiness group.
