Psychological Hardiness in the Work Environment in Light of Gender and Years of Experience Variables – A Field Study on a Sample of Primary Education Teachers

This study aimed to identify the differences in psychological hardiness levels in the work environment in light of the variables of gender and years of experience among primary education teachers. The sample consisted of 70 male and female teachers (22 males, 48 females), selected using a simple random sampling method from schools in the Wilaya of Médéa. The psychological hardiness scale developed by Mukhaimer (2002) and modified by Al-Shammari (2015) was used. The descriptive method was also adopted due to its appropriateness for the nature of the study. After applying the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS), the results were as follows: There are no differences in psychological hardiness levels among primary education teachers attributable to gender. There are also no differences attributable to years of experience.
