Abstract: This study aimed to investigate whether teachers' work-family conflict would indirectly increase depression through job burnout during the COVID-19 epidemic, and whether the mediation effect was moderated by teachers' resilience.One thousand one hundred and twenty-seven primary and middle school teachers finished Primary and Middle School Teachers' Work-family Conflict Questionnaire, Primary and Secondary School Teachers' Job Burnout Questionnaire and Resiliency Scale for Secondary School Teacher. The results showed that:(1)Most of the teachers reported little change in work and life condition, work-family conflict and depression during the epidemic, and a small number of teachers reported that these situations were worse or better during the outbreak; (2)Teachers' work-family conflict was positively correlated with depression and job burnout, and all above were negatively correlated with resilience; (3)After controlling for extraneous variables, job burnout mediated the relationship between work-family conflict and depression; (4)Resilience moderated the relationship between work-family conflict and job burnout for teachers who reported better work and life condition during the outbreak. For teachers who reported worse work and life condition, resilience moderated the relationship between job burnout and depression. Therefore, alleviating work-family conflict and job burnout and improving resilience can reduce depression of primary and middle school teachers and maintain their mental health.

Key words: work-family conflict, job burnout, depression, resilience, primary and middle school teachers
