“…The inspection of correlations between the scores at the APCQ and its four scales and the considered soft skills showed that all the dimensions of the psychological capital are positively associated with individuals' abilities that may positively impact professional and academic achievements and performances. This result is in line with the research expectations and with the findings in the literature that showed positive associations between soft skills and PsyCap dimensions (Aryani et al, 2021;Sameer et al, 2019).…”

Introduction. In the last two decades, great attention has been devoted to the four dimensions of the psychological capital (PsyCap): self-efficacy, hope, optimism, and resilience. These individual differences have been found to positively influence both academic and professional outcomes. This work aims to develop a bifactor-based version of the Academic PsyCap Questionnaire (APCQ), which is an instrument specifically meant for students and fresh graduates. Method. Cross-sectional data were collected in a large sample of Italian fresh graduates (N = 1,603). Data were analysed through exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. The invariance of the APCQ across males and females and across bachelor and master graduates was tested through Multiple-Group Confirmatory Factor Analyses. The relationships of the scores at the APCQ and its four scales with the soft skills were explored through Pearson’s correlations. Results. The questionnaire includes 20 items that have been found to adequately assess the four dimensions of self-efficacy, resilience, optimism, and hope, as well as the general factor of psychological capital. The bifactor structure of the instrument is in line with the definition of PsyCap in the literature. The APCQ was found to be invariant across genders and levels of academic degrees. Moreover, the APCQ scales were found to be positively associated with a set of soft skills that are relevant to achieving academic and professional success. Discussion and Conclusion. The paper provides researchers, practitioners, and educators with a valid and reliable instrument that may help them to effectively evaluate PsyCap dimensions in students and fresh graduates in order to design effective interventions and tailored educational programs.

“…Capital psicológico deve ser visto como um antecedente do desenho do trabalho (Sameer, Ahmed, & Mohamad, 2019), o qual afeta e é afetado pelo capital psicológico (Morgeson & Humphrey, 2006) Existem ainda fatores e subfatores de desenho do trabalho como as características da tarefa (autonomia, variedade de tarefas, significado da tarefa, identidade da tarefa, feedback do trabalho), do conhecimento (complexidade do trabalho, processamento de informações, solução de problemas, variedade de habilidades e especialização), sociais (suporte social, interdependência, interação fora da empresa e feedback dos outros) e do ambiente (ergonomia, exigências físicas, condições de trabalho e uso de equipamentos). Conforme se pode notar pelo exposto, existe um gap na literatura que aponta para a necessidade de estudar como capital psicológico e desenho do trabalho impactam engajamento e intenção de rotatividade.…”

Este estudo investigou as relações entre capital psicológico, desenho do trabalho, engajamento e intenção de rotatividade. Trata-se de um estudo quantitativo e de corte transversal com 268 participantes. Utilizou-se como Instrumentos: a) Questionário de Desenho do Trabalho, b) Escala de Capital Psicológico, c) Escala de Engajamento no Trabalho de Utrecht, d) Escala Intenção de Rotatividade e e) Questionário de dados sociodemográficos. Análises de regressão apontaram que fatores do desenho do trabalho e capital psicológico são fatores preditivos de engajamento no trabalho e de intenção de rotatividade. Os resultados indicaram ainda que desenho do trabalho e capital psicológico se relacionavam positivamente com engajamento no trabalho e negativamente com intenção de rotatividade. Revelaram também que capital psicológico é um fator supressor na relação entre especialização e engajamento no trabalho e modera a relação entre solução de problemas e intenção de rotatividade. Ademais, fatores do desenho do trabalho (características da tarefa e do trabalho, características sociais e o contexto do trabalho) e capital psicológico explicam engajamento no trabalho e intenção de rotatividade. São destacadas a originalidade do estudo, suas colaborações teóricas e aplicadas ao contexto de trabalho, destacando-se suas limitações.

“…Acquired responsibility for work goals, derived from autonomy in decision making, work scheduling, and the creation of procedures to get the job done, would be favored by the synergistic effect of self-efficacy, optimism, hope and resilience (Babar, 2019), thus confirming the positive relationship of JA with PsyCap (De Wee, 2020; Sameer et al, 2019).…”

In recent years, the concepts of positive psychological capital (PsyCap) and innovative work behavior (IWB) have attracted the attention of academics and human resources professionals for the benefits they bring to organizations. The aims of this article are: a)to present an overview of PsyCap and its relationship and influence as an antecedent, mediator, and moderator in IWB and; b) to analyze the variety of instruments that have been used to measure both constructs in the articles reviewed. A systematic literature review was conducted to obtain and analyze 39 publications in which both the terms, "psychological capital" and "innovative work behavior", appeared, adopting a series of exclusion-inclusion criteria in our final list. Our findings provide evidence of the relationship between the different roles of PsyCap and IWB, and present the most commonly used tools to explore this relationship, as well as a series of suggestions to facilitate future research.
