ABSTRACT: This
study focused on the following research objectives: 1) to examine how resilience is related to personal
accomplishment of Occupational Therapists; 2) to examine the relationship between personal
accomplishment, depersonalization, and emotional exhaustion; 3) to profile Occupational
Therapists based on resilience, personal accomplishment, emotional exhaustion,
and depersonalization. The sample included 315 Greek Occupational Therapists.
Data was collected on resilience (CD-RISC 10), personal accomplishment,
emotional exhaustion, and depersonalization (MBI-HSS). A Structural Equation
Model (SEM) was successfully specified with the two-step approach to examine
how resilience is related to personal accomplishment and how personal
accomplishment, emotional exhaustion, and depersonalization interact. The
measurement and full SEM model showed a good fit and adequate model-based
reliability. The SEM analysis suggested that increased resilience predicted a
major increase in personal accomplishment with a standardized direct effect
