Also, the results of the Pearson correlation analysis showed a negative and significant relationship between responsibility and impulsive behavior (P 0.01, r=0.793) and a negative and significant relationship between resilience and impulsive behavior (P 0.01, r=0.291). Conclusion: It is concluded that impulsive behavior is predicted based on responsibility and resilience in municipal employees
