Introduction and purpose: The competence of healthcare and treatment staff, including health network staff, is increasingly being paid attention to. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the relationship of hardiness with self-efficacy and job stress among healthcare network staff at Baft city, Kerman Province, Iran.
Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional correlational study was conducted on 255 employees working in the healthcare network of Baft city, 2019, who were selected using a random sampling method. The instruments utilized to collect data included questionnaires, namely the Hardiness Scale, General Self-Efficacy Scale, and Job Stress Questionnaire. The gathered data were analyzed in SPSS software (version 22) and LISREL software (version 8.8) using descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) and structural equation modeling.
Results: The results showed that hardiness and its components, including commitment, control, and challenge could have a positive and significant effect on self-efficacy (P=0.186, P=0.48, P=0.37, and P=0.42, respectively). Moreover, it was revealed that job stress had an inverse relationship with hardiness and its components, namely commitment, control, and challenge (P=-0.143, P=-0.39, P=-0.31, and P=-0.34, respectively ).
Conclusion: Based on the results, hardiness and its components could predict self-efficacy and job stress and be effective in increasing and decreasing it, respectively. Consequently, it is suggested to improve the performance of the healthcare network staff by holding hardiness training courses as a personality-acquired trait.
