METHODS: A cluster random sampling method was used to select 226 prison staffs in a city of Shandong Province as the study subjects. Chinese Adults Resilience Scale,Maslach Burnout Inventory-General Survey and General Well-Being Segment Scale were used for investigating resilience,job burnout and SWB in these subjects.

Psychological resilience plays a moderating role between job burnout and SWB( indirect effect values were-6. 27,-5. 03 and-3. 79 in the low-,medium-and high-resilience groups,respectively). CONCLUSION: Psychological resilience is helpful to reduce the occurrence of job burnout,and has a positive impact on SWB. Resilience plays a moderating role between job burnout and SWB.
