Relationships among Psychological hardiness, coping strategies and perceived stress of Mid-Level Managers
Kyaw Naing Lin
The purpose of this study was to explore the relationships among psychological hardiness, coping strategies, and perceived stress of mid-level managers. Further, this study attempted to develop Myanmar version of the Dispositional Resilience Scale, the Ways of Coping Questionnaire and the Perceived Stress Scale. Participants were 200 mid-level managers of 30 private sectors from Mandalay, Naypyidaw and Lashio. Pearson correlation coefficient, independent sample âtâ test, and multiple regression analyses were used for data analyses. Results of the correlation and âtâ test analyses showed that high hardiness (total), commitment, control, and challenge demonstrated significantly associations with lower perceived stress among mid-level managers. Planful problem-solving was significantly influenced by high levels of hardiness and escape-avoidance and distancing were significantly associated with low levels of hardiness. Seeking social support, planful problem-solving and positive reappraisal had a significant negative correlation with perceived stress. Escape-avoidance was significantly positively correlated with perceived stress. As expected, the stepwise method of multiple regression analyses revealed that hardiness (total), escape-avoidance, and positive reappraisal were a significant predictor of perceived stress. However, one of the results differed from our expectations; hardiness (challenge) was significantly positively associated with perceived stress.
