Aims: This study aimed to investigate the role of personality traits in predicting resilience among a military unit’s personnel.
Materials & Methods: This is a correlational research study. The research sample consisted of 217 employees of a military unit in Tehran in the year 1398 who were selected by simple random sampling. Two long-form neo-form personality questionnaires of 240 questions and a Connor-Davidson resilience scale of 25 questions were used to measure the research variables. Pearson correlation coefficient and multivariate regression analysis were used to analyze the data.
Findings: Among the univariate components of personality traits, according to the obtained standardized beta coefficients, the components of self-control, trust, shyness, conscientiousness, anxiety, sociability, frankness, humility, discipline and hard work are the most important predictors of resilience. The hypothesis test stated that self-control and trust components could predict more than 43% of changes in the resilience variable.

Conclusion: Based on the model obtained, the components of personality traits can highly predict changes in the resilience variable.
