Facing the challenges of new norms in the era of the pandemic Covid-19 requires us to have a high level of resilience. The staff of many organizations must deal with a variety of challenges, changes, and uncertainties. This study aimed on exploring the resilience level of lecturers in terms of their resilience level, profile, and differences in relation to their demographic background. A quantitative-based cross-sectional research design was employed for this study. A questionnaire was distributed to the lecturers from a training institute in Malaysia. Stratified random sampling was used in determining the samples for this study, the lecturers from all five (5) campuses of the training institute, and a total of 200 respondents were obtained. There were seven (7) domains of resilience explored in this study. Based on the finding, it was found that the resilience level of staff from this training institute was very high. It was also found that there was a significant difference in resilience level in relation to their retirement age. Therefore, this study may function as leverage for the management of this institutions to take necessary actions to further strengthen the resilience level among the lecturers especially for the low domain.
