Drawing on data provided by a convenience sample of 123 clergy serving in parish ministry in the Church in Wales, this pilot study was designed to test the predictive power of the Brief Resilience Scale on individual differences in susceptibility to professional burnout as conceptualised and assessed by the Francis Burnout Inventory, after controlling for personal factors (sex and age) and personality factors (introversion and emotionality). The data indicated that self-perceived resilience predicted lower levels of emotional exhaustion (negative affect) and higher levels of satisfaction in ministry (positive affect). Noting the limitations of this pilot study, the case is made for additional replication studies.
