“…From an empirical perspective, although the concept of PsyCap originates from Western countries, it also attracts wide research interest from many other different countries, such as South Africa [ 18 ], Ethiopia [ 19 ], Russia [ 20 ], Korea [ 21 ], Malaysia [ 22 ], Pakistan [ 23 ], China [ 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 ], and so on, which all support the positive effect of PsyCap. A recent meta-analysis [ 28 ] suggests that positive psychology interventions that are conducted in non-Western countries have larger effects than those in Western countries.…”

Research on positive psychology intervention is in its infancy; only a few empirical studies have proved the effectiveness and benefits of psychological capital interventions in workplaces. From a practical perspective, a more convenient intervention approach is needed for when organizations have difficulties in finding qualified trainers. This study aims to extend the psychological capital intervention (PCI) model and examine its influence on work-related attitudes. A daily online self-learning approach and a randomized controlled trial design are utilized. A final sample of 104 full-time employees, recruited online, is randomly divided into three groups to fill in self-report questionnaires immediately before (T1), immediately after (T2), and one week after (T3) the intervention. The results indicate that the intervention is effective at improving psychological capital (PsyCap), increasing job satisfaction, and reducing turnover intention. The practical implications for human resource managers conducting a flexible and low-cost PsyCap intervention in organizations are discussed. Limitations related to sample characteristics, short duration effect, small sample size, and small effect size are also emphasized. Due to these non-negligible drawbacks of the study design, this study should only be considered as a pilot study of daily online self-learning PsyCap intervention research.

“…PsyCap comprises of state-like positive motivational resources and drives positive and extraordinary organizational behavior and performance (Friend et al, 2016;Plessis and Boshoff, 2018). During the crisis like the COVID-19 pandemic, the state-like and thus open to development characteristic of PsyCap can have a crucial part in developing organizations, employees and working teams' ability to adapt (Friend et al, 2016;Tsegaye et al, 2019) to the crisis. In accordance with the scientific criteria of positive organizational behaviors, PsyCap is developmental, measurable and manageable for performance improvement.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to articulate a synergic-mediated model of positive service behaviors enabled by what could be called a “psychosocial resource caravan” for improved customer behavioral intentions to help service organizations especially during coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) crisis.Design/methodology/approachThis paper adopts a multi-level approach and is based on positive organizational behavior and occupational health and safety literature. An empirical study of synergic-mediated model of positive service behaviors has been developed and tested using a quantitative approach.FindingsThis paper offers a theoretical framework proposing that a psychosocially safe work environment (psychosocial safety climate (PSC)) interacts with employees' positive psychological capital (PsyCap) to facilitate positive service behaviors that influence customers' behavioral intentions. As PsyCap and PSC have origin, respectively, in different organizational levels, those both can combine and create a context for positive service encounters. The proposed model has been operationalized and then the reliability and validity of the constructs have been examined. A series of CFAs has been conducted and the fitness of the prosed model was compared to other possible models. The model showed a better fitness compared to the other plausible models. All hypotheses of the model were also significant.Originality/valueThe proposed model integrates positive organizational behavior and occupational health and safety literature to consider the conditions for positive service behaviors. High levels of PsyCap among team members and a psychosocially safe working environment, i.e. PSC can impact customers through positive service behaviors. The articulation of the proposed model presented in this paper invites future empirical research on the synergic nature of psychosocial resources. The paper also suggests some key points to operationalize “psychosocial resource caravan.”

“…The interplaying relationship between organizational culture and psychological capital can promote employees’ engagement and organizational citizenship behaviour (OCB) (Bogler & Somech, 2019; Lam et al, 2015; Laschinger et al, 2012). The positive work environment and higher PsyCap can result in higher job performance (Lee et al, 2017; Tsegaye et al, 2019), business innovations, (Mutonyi, 2021) and a happy work environment (Williams et al, 2017). Positive attitude and a collegial working environment would reduce the employees’ burnout and promote a non-violent work behaviour (Sarkar & Garg, 2020).…”

The article discusses the relationship between organizational culture and psychological capital through a systematic literature review. The exploratory research methodology is adopted to identify and study the existing gap in the available literature on the relationship between organizational culture and psychological capital from year 2000 to 2021. The articles from the ‘Scopus’ and ‘Web of Science’ databases were selected for the review. The literature review mentions a positive interplaying role between organizational culture and PsyCap that influences several factors including work happiness, job performance, Organizational Citizenship Behaviour, burnout, innovation, etc. The article explores several antecedents and consequences of the two-way relationship between organizational culture and PsyCap.
