| Summary: | Teacher resilience is an important topic in the world of education,
especially given the numerous obstacles and the amounts of stress that
teachers face daily. The term “resilience” has been used to explain why
certain individuals seem to cope well with difficult circumstances. This
mixed-methods study aimed to investigate the relationship between
Iranian EFL teachers' resilience and overqualification, and their work
alienation and positive organizational behavior. The participants included
199 (96 male and 103 female) Iranian EFL teachers, most of whom had
bachelor's and master's degrees and worked for private institutes. To
determine the relationship between the variables, a 40-item survey was
administered while interviews were conducted to determine the
participants' perceptions. The results showed no significant relationship
between overqualification and teacher resilience. However, there were
significant negative and positive correlations between work alienation
and positive organizational behavior with teacher resilience. The findings
can improve our understanding of the factors that can enhance teacher
resilience and consequently promote positive teaching practices.
