“…Additionally, they note that the agency items (for both trait and state versions) do not seem to be measuring perceived capacity for executing goals-related actions. Tong, et al (2010) note that their findings are consistent with past studies (e.g., Bruininks & Malle, 2005;Feldman, et al, 2009) that highlight agency is more reflective of cognitive expectations related to the feasibility of attaining a specified outcome and not necessarily the actual capacity to generate the means to pursue the goal. Tong, et al (2010) mention that agency type thinking represents more of what is thought of when individuals think of hope in general and as they put it into operation in their circumstances from both a cognitive and behavioral aspect.…”

The research on resilience has been hampered from a lack of a specific definition that can operationalized for measurement. The High Capacity Model of Resilience and Well-Being (H-CAP21) is a new theoretical model that defines specific traits that create states of resilience and well-being for use as a screening tool in clinical and nonclinical settings. Norming was completed across two studies with a total population of 1442 participants comprised of a clinical population of inpatient psychiatric patients and a non-clinical population of adult midcareer graduate students. A four-factor model represented by a 21-item scale was confirmed as a best fit. Individual subscales yielded alpha's from .75-.92, convergent validity with the Resilience Scale and discriminatory validity with and Obsessive Passion subscale and the Beck Depression Inventory-II. Criterion-related validity exhibited a positive directional relationship between the subscales with the criterion (cumulative GPA) and significant correlations with the overall scale score and commitment subscale. However, the remaining subscales did not reach a level of significance with the criterion. Further exploration of the H-CAP 21 will expand the type and setting of the populations the instrument is assessed with to include clinical populations, military applications, self-regulation, and motivation. The H-CAP 21 is believed to have clinical utility as a psychometrically sound screening tool.

“…The reason why employees who start the day expecting to reach their own goals are more engaged could be that hope leads to higher levels of effort and actual goal attainment, which in turn is associated with psychological well-being (Feldman et al, 2009;Smith et al, 2007). Thus, experiencing hope motivates employees to dedicatedly and energetically work towards their goals.…”

Good morning, good day: A diary study on positive emotions, hope, and work engagement

et al. 2012

The objective of this diary study was to look at the potential positive within-person relationships between positive emotions, work-related hope, and the three dimensions of work engagement on a daily level (i.e. vigor, dedication, and absorption). Following Broaden-and-Build theory and Affective Events Theory, it was expected that the experience of positive emotions would cause hope, which in turn would lead to a state of vigor, dedication, and absorption. The study was conducted among 59 employees of a Dutch university, who filled in a diary questionnaire for five consecutive working days, twice a day. As expected, the experience of positive emotions had an indirect effect on the level of vigor, dedication, and absorption through hope across days. So, it seems that an individual and daily perspective on work engagement is particularly worthwhile and provides valuable insights to enhance employee engagement in practice.

“…Feldman, Rand & Wrobleski (2009) identified one of the weaknesses of this scale stating "existing measures tap [sic] hope related to goals overall, as opposed to hope regarding particular goals. Due to this measurement issue, it has been difficult to evaluate whether hope predicts success on specific goals" (p. 482).…”

“…Due to this measurement issue, it has been difficult to evaluate whether hope predicts success on specific goals" (p. 482). Feldman et al (2009) produced a slightly altered scale using Snyder's Adult Hope Scale and followed a group of college students for three months. The qualitative date was to include student profiles on all students and detailed case studies o f the four representative students who participated in the taped fourquestion semi-structured interview conducted at the end o f the study.…”

“…Subsequent statistical studies have continued to conclude that the AHS is a statistically valid measurement o f hope trait (Magaletta & Oliver, 1999;Bryant & Cvengros, 2004;Rand, 2009;Feldman, Rand, Kahle-Wrobleski, 2009;Seirup & Rose, 2011). Feldman et al (2009) acknowledge that there has been extensive research and validation of the AHS. However, they state that despite "this extensive research, the central tenet o f hope theory -that hope drives successful goal pursuit and attainment (Snyder, 1994) -has not been tested" (p. 480).…”
