Abstract The purpose of this study was to verifying effectiveness of the guidelines for supporting resilience enhancement. Moreover, we aimed to discuss the effective way to use the guidelines based statistical data. The two fitness centers of the Metropolitan area joined this research in Japan. The fitness clubs approached to enhance resilience using the guidelines for a month or three months. The samples were 18 employees (Center A: 10, Center B: 8) completing the before-and-after evaluation using a questionnaire about resilience. The effect size (r) of result for paired t-test was pointed as the evaluate index for effectiveness of the activities to enhance resilience with the guidelines. As the result, center A’s resilience increased (r = 0.15 − 0.64), center B’s resilience decreased (r = 0.23 − 0.80). The organizational improvement activities including the improvement organizational process and interaction cause more effective resilience enhancement rather than the activities aiming to individual ability development to strengthen individual weakness.

1 Introduction Recently, occupational stress is treated widely as a big issue. One of the stressor is difficulty or adversity larking the daily operations. However, if you want to make successful career, you are needed to overcome many hardships on your career. That is much alike as Japanese fitness centers’ employees. They are required resilience to overcome hardships like a difficulty and an adversity on their career, resilience is the key factor to overcoming adversities for positive career design [1]. The most of hardships is on the work career [2]. Many resilience training is developed and focused in industry [3]. The resilience trainings like a Master resilience training and Penn resiliency program is mostly collective corporate training [2– 7]. Those are having a high threshold for small enterprises and small workplaces, because those need a kinds of very high cost. In such situation, the guidelines was developed which support approaches to enhance resilience using daily operations and self-help effort without in expert’s interventions [8]. However, effectiveness of the guidelines were not verified. Therefore, we tried approaches for resilience enhancement using the guidelines at two fitness centers in Japan. The purpose of this paper was to verify statistically effectiveness using before-after comparison test design of two fitness centers. Mor
