“…Psychodynamic approaches indicated that personal growth linked to "individuation", "striving for superiority", and "psychosocial development" (Yang & Chang, 2014). According to the eudaimonic and self-determination theory, PGI is a crucial factor for self-actualization and basic need satisfaction (Robitschek et al, 2012), in which they are related to mental health (Deci & Ryan, 2000). Furthermore, positive psychologists have increasingly pointed to the importance of encouraging personal growth (Seligman et al, 2005).…”

The primary goal of the current study was to investigate the mediating and moderating effects of the academic self-efficacy in the relationship between student academic support and personal growth initiative. The Turkish version of the Personal Growth Initiative Scale, the Student Academic Support Scale, and the Academic Self-efficacy Scale were administrated to a sample of 237 university students, between the ages of 18 and 23. The present study showed that academic self-efficacy and student academic support were positively related to personal growth initiative. Regression-based mediation analysis indicated that the effect of student academic support on personal growth initiative was mediated by academic self-efficacy. However, the effect of student academic support on personal growth initiative was not moderated by academic self-efficacy. These findings suggested that the student academic support was both direct and indirect effects on personal growth initiative.

In the prevalent VUCA (volatile-uncertain-complex-ambiguous) environment, the readiness for change has become an antidote to survive and thrive. Drawing on change readiness theory, the present study investigates the hypothesised framework, which elucidates whether and how intentional behaviour influences the readiness for change through planfulness and learning through experimentation as mediators in series. Data has been collected from 271 employees working in the manufacturing and I.T. service industries in North India. Structural equation modeling results indicated that intentional behaviour is positively related to readiness for change; furthermore, planfulness and learning through experimentation partially mediated the relationship. The findings highlight important implications for researchers, and management practitioners in developing a proactive mindset, planfulness ability, and fostering a learning culture among employees to enhance their change readiness for successful change initiatives and technology adoption.

Peer victimization includes being bullied and experiences of being the target of physical, social, emotional, or psychological harm from a peer. Personal growth initiative is an individual’s will to change, develop and evolve as a person. Perceived social support refers to how an individual perceives the support or the encouragement that he gets from his/her society, friends and others. Thus, the purpose of this research was to study the relationship between Peer victimization, Personal growth initiative (PGI) and Perceived social support among adolescents. The population for this study consisted of 100 participants, males and females both between the age range of 13-19 years. The statistical analysis used was Pearson’s product moment correlation. The findings revealed significant negative relationship between Peer Victimization and Personal Growth Initiative (r= -0.31, p< 0.01) and a significant positive relationship between Personal Growth Initiative and Perceived Social Support (r= 0.50, p< 0.01).However, no significant relationship was found between Peer Victimization and Perceived Social Support. (r= -0.18, n.s).
