The purpose of this study is to present suggestions and implications for future research directions by conducting an integrated literature review of research on the resilience of social workers, focusing on domestic journals. To this end, two research problems were established. First, what are the characteristics (keywords, measurement tools, research methods) of resilience research for social workers published in domestic journals? Second, what is the relationship between resilience and research variables in resilience studies for social workers published in domestic journals? To this end, according to the integrated literature review method of Tarraco (2005, 2016), research papers published in domestic journals including the keywords 'social worker' and 'resilience' were searched, and 21 papers that met the purpose were finally lyrical and used for analysis. The analysis results are as follows. First, the main keywords for research on the resilience of social workers were job burnout, job satisfaction, and emotional labor in order. Second, the resilience of social workers was most often used as a mediating variable, and in this case, it was found that the variables used as independent variables were affected by variables related to negative experiences/emotion related to jobs and variables related to the attitudes of leaders/colleagues in the organization. Based on these findings, implications, including future research proposals, were described.
