Background & Aims of the Study: This study aimed to predict impulsive behavior based on responsibility and resilience in employees of Qom Municipality, Qom City, Iran. Materials and Methods: The research method was descriptive-correlational in terms of applied objectives and terms of the data collection method. The study population comprised all employees of Qom Municipality in ۲۰۱۹-۲۰, which was ۳۳۰۰ people. Among them, ۲۵۰ people were selected using the available sampling method and the Cochran formula. The study data were collected using impulsive behavior, responsibility, and resilience questionnaires. The obtained data were analyzed using multiple regression analysis (stepwise method). Results: The results of stepwise multiple regression analysis showed that a decrease of one unit in “responsibility and resilience” by ۰.۷۶۷ and ۰.۱۰۵ units, respectively, increases the score of “impulsive behavior” of employees. Also, the results of the Pearson correlation analysis showed a negative and significant relationship between responsibility and impulsive behavior (P<۰.۰۱, r=-۰.۷۹۳) and a negative and significant relationship between resilience and impulsive behavior (P<۰.۰۱, r=-۰.۲۹۱). Conclusion: It is concluded that impulsive behavior is predicted based on responsibility and resilience in municipal employees
