Abstract: The study aims to provide a theoretical justification and conduct empirical research on the influence of various resources on the resilience of modern teachers. The study is based on the methodology of the resource approach, which assumes that teachers have functionally changeable and limited opportunities for solving professional tasks. Empirical data was obtained through the use of diagnostic techniques aimed at identifying environmental, organizational, and personal resources of teacher resilience. The main results of the study show that the resilience of teachers is closely related to their perception of students and the characteristics of the teaching staff. It was established that teachers tend to evaluate students neutrally or negatively and that the level of teacher resilience depends on the stability, independence, education, and activity of both individual teachers and the teaching staff as a whole. It was found that for teachers with high resilience, mutual support within the team and good interaction with the administration are important, while for those who experience low resilience, the relationships with students and their parents hold importance. The conclusion was drawn that the resilience strategy is a complex result of the influence of environmental, organizational, and personal factors. The scientific novelty of the study lies in identifying indicators that both positively and negatively affect resilience. These indicators include teachers’ perceptions of students, colleagues, and the organization of the educational process. It was noted that the following factors have a positive influence: teachers’ perception of students as happy, calm, and neutral towards teachers; perception of colleagues as active, independent, having higher education, and the team as stable; organization of the educational process taking into account the opinion of teachers, regardless of the opinion of social partners, focused on clear rules for assessing the activities of students.
