“…These definitions seem explicit in that self-efficacy and resilience have a partly overlapping meaning. A number of the same adjectives also are commonly used in self-efficacy research to describe being self-efficacious as they are used in resilience research to describe being resilient: strong, malleable, resistant despite obstacles, adaptable, and determined (e.g., Bandura, 1986Bandura, , 1997Hunter & Chandler;Stajkovic & Luthans, 1998, 2003Wagnild & Young).…”

The author develops core confidence as a higher order construct and suggests that a core confidencehigher order construct-not addressed by extant work motivation theories-is helpful in better understanding employee motivation in today's rapidly changing organizations. Drawing from psychology (social, clinical, and developmental) and social anthropology, the author develops propositions regarding the relationships between core confidence and performance, attitudes, and subjective well-being. The core confidence-higher order construct is proposed to be manifested by hope, self-efficacy, optimism, and resilience. The author reasons that these four variables share a common confidence core (a higher order construct) and may be considered as its manifestations. Suggestions for future research and implications of the work are discussed.

“…In simple terms, the main difference between self-efficacy and resiliency is that resiliency tends to have a smaller domain and is reactive rather than proactive (Huey & Weisz, 1997;Hunter & Chandler, 1999). In relation to hope (Snyder, 2000), resiliency is quite similar to the pathways component of hope, but does not include the agency dimension of hope.…”

The need for and meaning of positive organizational behavior

SummaryThis essay draws from the emerging positive psychology movement and the author's recent articles on the need for and meaning of a positive approach to organizational behavior. Specifically, the argument is made that at this time, the OB field needs a proactive, positive approach emphasizing strengths, rather than continuing in the downward spiral of negativity trying to fix weaknesses. However, to avoid the surface positivity represented by the nonsustainable best-sellers, the case is made for positive organizational behavior (POB) to take advantage of the OB field's strength of being theory and research driven. Additional criteria for this version of POB are to identify unique, state-like psychological capacities that can not only be validly measured, but also be open to development and performance management. Confidence, hope, and resiliency are offered as meeting such POB inclusion criteria. The overall intent of the essay is to generate some positive thinking and excitement for the OB field and 'hopefully' stimulate some new theory building, research, and effective application.

“…Certain items on the scale were noted to have low item-total correlation, and therefore only. Eight items in the scale that had a correlation of below 0.30 were omitted (28), and the remaining 6 (items [8][9][10][12][13][14] yielded an improved Cronbach alpha of 0.65. Factor analysis using principal component analysis followed by Varimax rotation procedure was computed for the 6-items, yielding 2 factors.…”

“…Prevalence studies of psychological distress and it's impact among adolescents in Nigeria is limited, with varying rates of distress reported, ranging between 15% and 50% (6-8, Fatoye, 1998 andIkegwuonu, 2009, unpublished report). Resilience to distress in adolescents has been conflictingly reported to be associated with high rates of depression and anxiety on one hand (9)(10), and also with lower rates of anxiety, depressive symptoms, and suicidal ideas (11)(12)(13). Family factors, such as polygamy (Fatoye, 1998, unpublished report), lower socio-economic class, divorce and separation, have also been reported as risk factors for the development of psychological problems in adolescents (14)(15)(16)(17).…”
