The aim of the present study was to investigate the moderating role of resilience in the relationship between personality traits and stress coping styles among Neyshabur prison officers in 2026. The statistical population of this study includes all cadre and duty officers (guards, supervisors, and security-administrative departments) working in Neyshabur prison in 2026. Considering an error level of 5% (? = 0.05) and the desired test power, for a population with an approximate size to 300 people, a sample size of 150 people was selected, and after distribution, 146 questionnaires were collected for analysis. The NEO personality questionnaire, the Lazarus and Folkman coping strategies questionnaire, and the Connor and Davidson resilience scale were used to collect data. The research method was descriptive Pearson correlation, regression and analysis of variance. There is a significant relationship between personality traits and coping styles with the moderating role of resilience among the officers of Neyshabur prison in 1405. There is a significant relationship between the five personality dimensions (psychoticism, extraversion, eagerness to experience, agreeableness and conscientiousness) and coping styles among the officers of Neyshabur prison in 1405. Also, there is a significant mean difference between the personality traits, resilience and coping styles of the officers based on the contextual variables (age, service experience and level of education).
