Abstract
The current study aimed to identify the impact of positive thinking on the anxiety of Coronavirus infection through the lockdown among UNRWA staff in Jordan. To achieve the objectives of the study, three measures were developed, the Positive Thinking Scale, the anxiety level of Coronavirus Infection Scale, and the lockdown Scale. A sample of (2036) employees responded to the measures. The results showed that the level of anxiety for COVID -19 infection among the sample was high, and statistically significant differences were found in the level of Covid-19 infection anxiety according to the sex variable for females, also statistically differences were found in the level of anxiety in COVID-19 infection according to age in favor of (31-40), and statistically differences for the social status in favor of married couples. Results also showed a direct negative impact of positive thinking variable on the level of anxiety associated with COVID-19 infection, and an effect of positive thinking on the level of anxiety during activating the lockdown. The study recommends designing training programs for employees to help them adapt to different circumstances and enable them to continue performing their assigned work.

الملخص
هدفت الدراسة الحالية إلى الكشف عن أثر التفكير الإيجابي على مستوى قلق الإصابة بعدوى فيروس كورونا خلال فترة الإغلاق لدى موظفي وكالة الغوث الدولية في الأردن. ولتحقيق أهداف الدراسة تم تطوير ثلاثة مقاييس وهي مقياس التفكير الإيجابي، ومقياس قلق الإصابة بعدوى فيروس كورونا، ومقياس الإغلاق. استجاب للمقاييس عينة بلغت (2036) من الموظفين. أظهرت النتائج أن مستوى قلق الإصابة بعدوى فيروس كورونا لدى أفراد العينة جاء مرتفعًا، وأن هناك فروقًا دالة إحصائيًا في مستوى قلق الإصابة بفيروس كورونا تبعًا لمتغير الجنس لصالح الإناث. ووجدت فروق دالة إحصائيًا في مستوى القلق تبعًا لمتغير العمر ولصالح الفئة (31-40) سنة. ووجدت فروق دالة إحصائيًا لمتغير الحالة الاجتماعية ولصالح المتزوجين. كما أظهرت النتائج وجود أثر مباشر عكسي لمتغير التفكير الإيجابي على مستوى قلق الإصابة بعدوى الفيروس. ووجود أثر عكسي للتفكير الإيجابي في مستوى القلق خلال فترة الإغلاق. وتوصي الدراسة بتصميم برامج تدريبية للموظفين لمساعدتهم على التكيف مع الظروف المختلفة ليتمكنوا من الاستمرار بأداء المهام المناط بهم بالشكل الأفضل.
