Antecedents and Consequences of Grit Among Working Adults: A Transpersonal Psychology Perspective

“…Also, it was noted that 89.5% belonged to urban areas, whereas 10.5% belonged to rural areas, as shown in Table 1 . To measure for sample adequacy, an exploratory factor analysis was performed and the KMO (Kaiser–Meyer–Olkin) test was performed and was found to be 0.749 which represents acceptable sample adequacy and the results of Bartlett’s Test of Sphericity revealed the correlation matrix to not be random χ 2 (36) = 588.862, p = <0.001, and was found suitable for the factor analysis to be performed ( Singh and Chukkali, 2021 ).…”

“…Hence, further efforts can be made to inform and elevate the understanding of organisations for improving efficiency among employees. Thirdly, more diverse research can be conducted to study gender differences and inequalities ( Cénat et al, 2020 ) in assessing and inculcating grit among employees to provide an understanding of organisations in the collectivist culture impacted by sociocultural, economic factors that may affect the grit levels of employees and how these factors can be dealt with, to provide equal opportunities for all individuals to learn, grow and develop their talents as well as adaptability to situations, perseverance of effort, spirited initiative and steadfastness in adverse situations ( Singh and Chukkali, 2021 ).…”

“…Grit was assessed using the Multidimensional Scale of Grit developed by Singh and Chukkali (2021) which measures four factors of grit, namely adaptability to situation, perseverance of effort, spirited initiative, steadfastness in adverse situations. It is a 12-item scale.…”

“…Revolutionised in the past decade, the emerging concept of grit, as a non-cognitive trait and a psychological tool to make sustained efforts towards achieving long-term goals in challenging domains, irrespective of talent ( Duckworth et al, 2007 ) has received enormous recognition in the scientific community. Grit in the present paper can be understood from the framework given by Singh and Chukkali (2021) as the ability to adapt to situations, to show perseverance of effort, spirited initiative and steadfastness in not only long-term goals but also in situations requiring immediate attention. Grit provides contrary evidence to the conventional nature of possessing innate talents to obtain success.…”

“…Another framework for assessing workplace goal orientation was assessed by developing a goal orientation process model namely “GRRR” by Ceschi et al (2021) which found grit as a predictor of resilience, in the form of construct relationships of grit leading to resilience which in turn, results in recovery, thus, proving to be a significant model in order to assess workplace long-term relationships among grit, resilience and recovery. To bridge the gap between grit researches in the eastern perspective, Singh and Chukkali (2021) developed a reliable framework for measuring grit, including dimensions of grit, adaptability to situation, perseverance of effort, spirited initiative and steadfastness in adverse situations. These perspectives provide deep and extensive insights into the advancement and implementation of grit in important areas of functioning in individual’s lives.…”
