The research design used in this study is quantitative, and survey question is used to collect the data. A total of 351 respondents is randomly selected. Research findings are analysed using statistical descriptive and inferences. Findings show that the level of teachers’ resilience (M=3.92, SD=.44) are high. The mean score of each dimension is personal competence (M= 3.77, SD =.57), social competency (M=3.99, SD=.55), social resource (M=3.85, SD=.54), family cohesion (M= 4.20, SD= .65) .and structure style ( M= 3.77, SD = .48). This study helps teachers to improve their resiliency, enables them to remain in the teaching profession and commits to the job which was assigned to them. Keywords: teachers resilience, teaching profession, I. INTRODUCTION In 21 century, many researchers talking about resiliency. Resilience had been viewed as the ability and quality of individual manage stress, problems and challenge.

Such behaviours and responds help neither senior teachers nor beginning teachers has the ability and power to stay in the teaching profession. Furthermore, satisfaction in work also leads job commitment among teacher. Since last two decades, resilience has become a hot topic and have been widely studying by the educational researchers around the world due to the significant implication on teacher work attitude such as commitment, retention, work satisfaction and performance (Gu, 2014; A. Z. A. Razak, 2013; Tait, 2008). Retaining teachers in the teaching profession is a major concern in many countries (J. Y. Hong, 2012). Teacher’s resilience enable teachers persist in the face for challenges and provide the ways to cope the stress, burnout and attrition. In brief, promoting teacher resilience is become an emergedissues in the education system.
