Abstract
Background: Resilience is a crucial aspect of well-being for primary and secondary school teachers (PSETs) as it allows them to manage the demands and challenges of their profession. However, there is limited knowledge about the key risks and protective factors that influence PSETs' resilience. Purpose: This systematic review explores the key risks and protective factors of PSETs’ resilience as recorded in literature between 2015 and 2022. Research Questions: 1. What are the main protective factors that strengthen the resilience of PSETs? 2. What are the main risk factors that weaken the resilience of PSETs? Methods: This systematic literature review employed a comprehensive search strategy that involved searching for relevant articles in multiple databases, including Web of Science, ERIC, Ebscohost, and Scopus. Following the application of exclusion criteria, a total of 28 peer-reviewed articles were selected for the final analysis. The quality of the articles was evaluated using the GRADE tool. The articles were categorized and tabulated to synthesize the evidence and address the research questions. Results: The results of the systematic review indicate that support from management, selfcare activities, and a positive school culture are key protective factors for PSETs' resilience. Conversely, exosystemic factors such as changes to the education system and high-stakes accountability frameworks, as well as high workload and job demands, were identified as key risk factors for PSETs' resilience. Overall, the study highlights the significance of addressing both internal and external factors that affect PSETs' resilience.
