“…The ability to cope with stress is known as resilience (Connor & Davidson, 2003). Recently, Djourova et al (2019) defined resilience as a personal characteristic that allows a person to find and use internal and external resources to overcome difficulties or regain their balance after they have occurred. In daily life, setbacks and micro stressors occur in nearly all jobs, and people who can prevent losses and recover from adversity are considered to have resilience (King et al, 2016).…”

This study investigates the impact of mindful and empathetic leadership on resilience and turnover intention, with self-regulation as a mediating variable. A quantitative survey was administered to 188 nurses dealing with COVID-19’s patients in Indonesia. Data were analyzed using Process v3.5 Andrew F. Hayes in SPSS. This study revealed that mindful leadership reduces turnover intention, and empathetic leadership increases resilience, while mindful leadership does not increase resilience, and empathetic leadership does not lessen turnover intention. We also conclude that self-regulation mediates the relationship between mindful leadership/empathetic leadership and turnover intention/resilience. Despite being limited to the Indonesian context, this research offers several contributions from both theoretical and practical perspectives. First, this research established the importance of mindful and empathetic leadership to promote resilience and reduce the turnover intention of nurses in the time of crisis. Second, we confirmed self-regulation as the mediating variable for those relationships. Practically, we suggest that having empathetic and mindful leaders is effective in supporting nurses to deal with COVID-19 patients.

“…This study shows that self-efficacy is one of the most unexplored area in the field of engineering management and health management and call for further research that self-efficacy can be used as a mediating mechanism and the findings will contribute in different areas (Djourova, Rodriguez, & Lorente-Prieto, 2019;Kozak, 2018).…”

Workplace safety has emerged as a prime concern for construction workers, since they are at high risk of accidents leading to serious injuries or even death. Workplace accidents yearn harmful ramifications for both the employee as well as the employer. In past so many studies have been conducted on the relationship between affective commitment and safety climate. Therefore, the aim of this study is to explore the mediating role of self-efficacy on the relationship between affective commitment and safety climate in the construction industry. This research is purely quantitative in nature because all the data related to this research study was primary data and data is collected from employees working in construction industry in Afghanistan through questionnaires . In this study, the researcher connected safety climate with affective commitment. More specifically, the researcher introduced self-efficacy as mediators for the relationships between affective commitment and safety climate. This study verified the relationship between affective commitment and safety climate with mediating role of self-efficacy.

“…We ask researchers to improve the scale adaptation process or explore alternative measures developed specifically in academic contexts for Resilience (King & Caleon, 2021). Additionally, it could be good advice to include more indicators of Optimism (Djourova et al, 2019).…”

“…The most used PsyCap scales are the 24-item PsyCap Questionnaire (PCQ-24; Luthans et al, 2007) and its brief version, the 12-item Psychological Capital Questionnaire (PCQ-12; Avey et al, 2011). There are alternatives, such as the Compound PsyCap scale (CPC-12; Lorenz et al, 2016) or an adapted version of the PCQ-12 (Djourova et al, 2019). The PCQ-12 has been adapted to the academic context (Martínez et al, 2021; Schönfeld & Mesurado, 2020), and also new scales have been developed specifically for students partially based on the PCQ-12 (King & Caleon, 2021).…”

“…López-Núñez et al, 2018;Santana-Cárdenas et al, 2018;Viseu et al, 2012). This controversy appears largely in the adaptations of the scale in Portugal and Spain, which could indicate an effect related to the context or translation (Djourova et al, 2019). Regarding its reliability, some studies showed problems in some dimensions: in Resilience (α = .5) and Optimism (α = .64) (López-Núñez et al, 2018); and also in Resilience (Santana-Cárdenas et al, 2018;Viseu et al, 2012).…”

Abstract. Psychological Capital (PsyCap) is a key construct in psychological research across the lifespan. Although the 12-item Psychological Capital Questionnaire (PCQ-12) is among the most used scales to approach its measurement, its factor structure and reliability remain controversial, particularly in samples of adolescents. Data came from a cross-sectional survey administered to 267 Spanish adolescents, 59.9% girls ( Mage = 13.96, SD = 1.56). Confirmatory Factor Analyses (CFAs) in Mplus 8.6 were used to compare three competitive models (one factor, four correlated factors, and a second order structure) estimated with Bayesian methods. Although Self-Efficacy, Hope, and Optimism significantly explained their indicators, and their cross-loadings were not statistically significant, Resilience operated differently. We obtained evidence supporting the second-order structure. Also, it becomes clear that the scale has difficulties measuring Resilience in adolescents. Consequently, further research should explore new adaptations or alternative measures to overcome these limitations when researching adolescents.
