This study attempts to explore resilience-mental health dynamics across gender and job status at mid life (40-60 years) in work organization. A sample of 400 comprising of 200 male and 200 female Higher secondary school teachers (6 – 12th grade) were selected. Out of 200 males, 100 belonged to lecturer grade and 100 to teacher grade. Similar procedure was adopted to select female teachers. Results revealed that there is no significant difference between the resilience of male and female teachers but females showed lower level of positive mental health than their male counterparts. Age was negatively related to resilience but positively related to mental health. The exposure to psychologically critical life situations foster certain competencies and coping skills and make people invincible to emotional pain but in the process persons can be overactive, restless, obsessive, less friendly, depressed and acquire certain degree of neuroticism.naltrexone information go vivitrol uk | Keywords : | | |
