Abstract
In addition to traditional low-risk stressors (e.g., work overload; ; ), soldiers are often exposed to high-risk stressors (e.g., exposure to high-risk situations, witnessing injuries/death) that can include potentially traumatic events (; ; ). These additional stressors are inherent to their profession and thus cannot be avoided or minimized. However, work-related stress has become a major challenge for soldiers (), as it can be associated with mental health problems (; ; ). Research on work-related stress outcomes has been characterized by significant activity and substantial contributions, whereas the exploration of stress-protective factors has been comparatively limited (). Additionally, the role of psychological resilience (henceforth referred to as resilience) has been recognized as crucial in high-risk occupations, such as the military (). Our study aimed to systematically review resilience among soldiers by focusing on individual (micro level) and organizational (meso- and macro-level) resilience factors among active-duty military personnel. We first provide an overview of resilience with a focus on the military and highlight the necessity for a multilevel framework. Further, we outline inconsistencies in resilience research and explore the need for a narrow definition of resilience.
