The antecedents and consequences of positive organizational behavior: The role of psychological capital for promoting employee well-being in sport organizations

Proactive personality and job performance of athletic coaches: organizational citizenship behavior as mediator

“…Therefore, positive organizational behavior underscores human strengths and psychological capacities, which are situational and developmental in nature (Parker et al, 2010). This perspective is aligned with an outlook that assumes the malleability of employees' state-like capacities, which are deemed manageable and transformable for performance improvement (Kim et al, 2018). It is well suited to today's fast-paced and unpredictable environment because, under such conditions, employees are constantly pressured to develop and adjust their expertise in accordance with various demands by the organization.…”

“…Although studies on athletic classes have received considerable attention, they focus more on athletes than on the systems and personnel put in place to support them (Chan and Chen, 2010;Chen and Chen, 2011;Cunningham and Ahn, 2018). Studies of organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) in the context of sports have found that OCB is significantly correlated with athletic coaches' leadership behaviors, athletes' satisfaction, team cohesion, and other variables (Aoyagi et al, 2008;Choi et al, 2007;Kent and Chelladurai, 2001;Kim et al, 2018). Therefore, positive organizational behavior underscores human strengths and psychological capacities, which are situational and developmental in nature (Parker et al, 2010).…”

“…In the field of organizational behavior, the concept of OCB has received substantial attention from practitioners and researchers as a prototypical positive organizational behavior (Parker et al, 2010) because such behaviors have a beneficial influence on individual and organizational effectiveness (Miao and Shih, 2013). However, there has been little research (Kim et al, 2018;Lu and Kuo, 2016) regarding OCB and the relationships between OCB and other variables in sport, despite its potential impact on team performance. Given this background, the purpose of the current study was to investigate OCB as a mediation efface in the context of sport.…”

“…Given this background, the purpose of the current study was to investigate OCB as a mediation efface in the context of sport. Exhibiting traits like a stable personality, those with positive organizational behavior adopt developmentally positive constructs to improve human and organizational conditions (Bateman and Crant, 1993;Kim et al, 2018). In addition, positive organizational behavior impacts performance, and endows individuals with an ability to adapt to different situations.…”

“…In a discussion of the emergence, application, and future of organizational behavior research in sport, Love and Kim (2019) specifically identified OCB as an area deserving further attention to better understand psychosocial dynamics in sport teams. Many researchers in the field of sport management have applied various constructs of organizational behavior, such as leadership, organizational support, organizational justice, job satisfaction, and organizational commitment, to sport settings under the belief that such constructs should influence performance (Kim et al, 2018;Lu and Kuo, 2016). However, despite the important differences between sport organizations and organizations in other fields, many studies have been limited to simply explore relationship between single-aspect variable and OCB to the context of sport (Love and Kim, 2019).…”
