Abstract: (10472 Views)
Background and Objectives: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) causes mental effects as well as physical effects, which can affect the occupational dimensions of people. The present study was aimed to determine the effect of individual factors on resilience and productivity loss of employees at epidemics conditions of Coronavirus in an occupational environment.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed, in Spring of 2020, on 275 personnel in one of the southern industrial companies of Iran. Data collection instruments included demographic questionnaire, researcher made questionnaire, CD-RSC resilience questionnaire, and Hershey and Gold Smith productivity questionnaire. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS software version 22.
Results: The results of one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed that people older than 50 years and more than 20 years of work experience and low and medium experience in using personal protective equipment had a significantly lower resilience score (P<0.05). Also, the results of the analysis revealed that the individuals with experience of COVID-19 had significantly lower score of productivity (P<0.05). Moreover, the results showed that there was a significant positive correlation between resilience and productivity (r=0.249, P<0.05).
Conclusion: COVID-19 disease has reduced the resilience and productivity of workers. Therefore, adherence to health protocols in the workplace is necessary to reduce the risk of developing COVID-19.
