ABSTRACT
Resumen El capital psicológico y la motivación, bajo la perspectiva teórica de la psicología positiva y la autodeterminación respectivamente, conducen al ser humano a la obtención de resultados y al éxito del desarrollo profesional y personal. Asimismo, ante situaciones problemáticas, representan recursos para generar estrategias de resolución. Se planteó como hipótesis que el capital psicológico ejerce influencia sobre la motivación intrínseca de estudiantes universitarios. El objetivo fue identificar un modelo empírico compuesto por dos factores en interacción de un grupo de 253 estudiantes universitarios de primer ingreso en la carrera de psicología, con un promedio de edad de 19.64 años (DT = 3.34). Se integró una muestra por conveniencia a la que se aplicó un cuestionario con reactivos de tipo escala valorativa: 29 reactivos midieron motivación con cinco opciones de respuesta y 24 reactivos capital psicológico con seis opciones de respuesta. La recolección de datos se realizó en diversas sesiones que duraron aproximadamente 20 minutos; el cuestionario fue contestado voluntariamente, y los datos recabados fueron analizados con ecuaciones estructurales. Se obtuvo un modelo con bondad de ajuste que identificó la influencia del capital psicológico sobre la motivación intrínseca, lo que representa que los estudiantes poseen fuertes motivadores internos para realizar sus estudios y auguran el desempeño exitoso, según advierten algunos estudios preliminares. De acuerdo con la teoría de la autodeterminación, prevalecen los factores internos para generar acciones que repercuten con diversos comportamientos organizacionales.
Abstract Psychological capital and motivation under the perspective of positive psychology and self-determination lead the human being to obtain results and success of professional and personal development; when faced with problematic situations, they also represent resources to generate resolution strategies. In work environments, psychological capital is considered an important resource as the human capital is in any organization. Currently, the study of the psychological capital is focused on university students, which means that educational institutions have to plan the graduate profile that will characterize future professionals. Psychological capital is a construct composed of personal resources defined as: optimism, hope, resilience, and self-efficacy. The data collected in the work environment indicated that these variables could favorably affect organizational effectiveness and job performance. Also, in the educational field, it has been observed that university students who scored high in psychological capital showed greater academic performance and success in completing their studies than those who obtained low scores. Specifically, some studies have shown a predominance of high hope and resilience scores of students. Psychological capital is an antecedent, mediating, or consequent variable that interacts with motivation, with various organizational behaviors, with academic performance, and success in completing professional studies. Therefore, this article set out to identify the influence that psychological capital exerted on the intrinsic motivation of the group of students included in the sample. The aim of this study was to identify an empirical model capable of showing if psychological capital is linked to intrinsic motivation in a group of 253 university newly admitted students the career of Psychology, with an average age of 19.64 years (DT = 3.34); 199 were female and 54 were male. A convenience sample was integrated, by choosing the participation of a cohort of students who were in groups conformed by the preferences of the students' schedules and the availability of space in each classroom. A questionnaire with rating scale items was applied: 29 items belonged to the Educational Motivation Scale, with five response options; and 24 items belonged to the Psychological Capital Scale, with six response options. The items on both scales demonstrated internal consistency in previous research. A psychologist carried out the data collection in several sessions that lasted approximately 20 minutes. The sample voluntarily answered the questionnaire. Structural equations were used to analyze the data. The confirmatory factor analysis technique was performed, since it allowed testing the hypothesis. The empirical model obtained had practical goodness of fit, since it presented a C2 = 26.51 (13 gl, p = .01). The practical goodness of fit was manifested in the fit values of .97 for BBN, .97 for BBNN and .98 for CFI. The RMSEA was equal to .06. The measurement model obtained was made up of four latent first-order variables (self-efficacy, hope, optimism, and resilience); these variables formed a latent second-order variable called psychological capital that influenced the second-order variable called intrinsic motivation. Intrinsic motivation was integrated by three first-order latent variables (intrinsic motivation to know, intrinsic motivation to accomplish, and intrinsic motivation to experience stimulation). A good-fit model identified the influence of psychological capital on intrinsic motivation, which meant that students had strong internal motivators to carry out their studies and predict successful performance according to some preliminary studies. The empirical model registered also had high factorial weights for hope and resilience. In this study, psychological capital (self-efficacy, hope, optimism, and resilience) was associated with intrinsic motivation (intrinsic motivation to know, intrinsic motivation to accomplish, and intrinsic motivation to experience stimulation). In previous research, the relationship with motivation was more generic. According to the theory of self-determination, internal factors prevail to generate actions that affect several organizational behaviors.

ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the effect of rumination on learning burnout of nursing undergraduate students and the mediating role of psychological capital between rumination and learning burnout of nursing undergraduate students.Methods:A total of 296 undergraduate nursing students from three medical colleges were assessed by using ruminative responses scale, learning burnout questionnaire and psychological capital scale. SPSS 20.0 was used for t-test. Pearson correlation was to analyze the relationship among psychological capital, learning burnout and ruminative thinking. AMOS 20.0 was used to construct and analyze the mediating model of psychological capital and its mediating effect was tested by Bootstrap method. Results:The average score of rumination of nursing undergraduate students was 46.60±11.40, learning burnout score was 56.18±11.25, and psychological capital scale score was 99.93±15.27. There was a significant difference among the rumination, psychological capital, and learning burnout scores in whether there was curriculum failure ( P < 0.05). The total score of rumination was positively related to the total score of learning burnout ( r = 0.39, P < 0.01), and was negatively related to the total score of psychological capital ( r = -0.53, P < 0.01). The total score of rumination was negatively related to the total score of psychological capital ( r = -0.46, P < 0.01). The psychological capital played a partial mediating role between rumination and learning burnout. The mediating effect value was 0.216, accounting for 61.521% of the total variation. Conclusion:The rumination can both directly affect the learning burnout of nursing undergraduate students and indirectly affect the learning burnout through psychological capital. Psychological capital plays a bridge role in improving rumination related to learning burnout.

Abstract Objective The study investigated the effects of a short video app guided loving-kindness meditation (LKM) on college students' mindfulness, self-compassion, positive psychological capital, and suicide ideation. The purpose of the study is to investigate the intervention effect of LKM training on suicidal ideation among college students with the help of the short video application and to provide an empirical basis for the exploration of early suicide intervention strategies for college students. Methods We recruited 80 college students from a university in China. The final 74 eligible participants were divided into two groups: app use group (n = 37) and the control group (n = 37). The app group accepted an 8-week app use interference, while the control group underwent no interference. We measured four major variable factors (mindfulness, self-compassion, positive psychological capital, and suicide ideation) before and after the app use intervention. Results In the app group, self-compassion and positive psychological capital were significantly higher, and suicide ideation was significantly lower than the control group. In the control group, there were no noticeable differences in any of the four variables between the pre-test and post-test. Conclusions Our findings demonstrate that the short video app guided LKM may help to improve self-compassion, and positive psychological capital, and reduce suicide ideation. The finding of the short video app-guided LKM's effect extends our understanding of the integrative effects of positive psychology and digital media on the reduction of suicide ideation.

Abstract Raw performance and the factors that influence it is a relatively rare topic in Organizational and Work Psychology, especially in the context of Positive Organizational Behavior. This study aimed to verify whether psychological capital predicts the performance of salespeople in a wholesaler-distributor. The sample consisted of 237 salespeople who responded to the Inventory of Psychological Capital at Work (ICPT-25). The model test was performed through Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), which indicated that the proposed model, in which psychological capital predicted gross performance, was not corroborated. We argue that situational variables can be more robust predictors than individual variables. We propose that raw performance should be investigated with independent variables of a situational nature, such as leadership.
RESUMO O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar se capital psicológico pode influenciar o desempenho bruto de vendedores de televendas pertencentes a um atacadista distribuidor. A amostra final constituiu-se de 237 vendedores, sendo a maioria do sexo feminino (82,7%), com idade média de 30 anos (DP = 7,63), com tempo médio de trabalho na organização igual a 42,5 meses (DP = 47,5 meses) e o tempo médio na função de 46,7 meses (DP = 45,5 meses). O grau de escolaridade predominante é o segundo grau completo (40,5%). O instrumento utilizado foi o Inventário de Capital Psicológico no Trabalho (ICPT-25), composto por quatro fatores e com Alpha de Cronbach superior a 0,70 para cada um. A confiabilidade das escalas para a amostra do estudo também mostrou coeficientes superiores a 0,70. Os dados foram analisados por meio da estatística descritiva e o teste do modelo através da Modelagem por Equação Estrutural (MEE). Os resultados indicaram que as correlações entre capital psicológico e desempenho bruto foram baixas e as maiores correlações foram entre otimismo e esperança e autoeficácia com esperança. A MEE mostrou que o modelo proposto não foi confirmado revelando que capital psicológico não é um preditor significativo de desempenho dos vendedores que compuseram esta amostra. Recomenda-se que, em futuras pesquisas, desempenho bruto seja investigado com variáveis independentes de caráter situacionais, como liderança, por exemplo. O estudo apresentou contribuições para o meio acadêmico ao investigar desempenho bruto como variável dependente, o que é inovador dentro da POT. Para os gestores, o trabalho discute os fatores que podem determinar o desempenho visando o cumprimento de metas nas organizações.
ABSTRACT
Este estudo teve por objetivo testar um modelo no qual o bem-estar no trabalho (BET) é explicado pela percepção de suporte organizacional e capital psicológico. Trata-se de estudo quantitativo, corte transversal e correlacional, no qual a amostra foi composta por 227 trabalhadores, sendo a maioria do sexo feminino (57,7%), na faixa etária de 29 anos e com prevalência de curso superior incompleto e completo representando 65,2% dos participantes. A maioria atua na iniciativa privada (68,3%) e não ocupa cargo de chefia. Foram utilizados instrumentos fidedignos e com índicio de validade relativos aos construtos investigados. Para análise de dados, utilizaram-se estatística descritiva, testes de comparação de médias (Teste t e ANOVA) e análise de regressão múltipla (método padrão). Entre os resultados, identificou-se que otimismo, autoeficácia/esperança (capital psicológico) e a percepção de suporte organizacional são variáveis explicativas das vivências de BET. Portanto o modelo não foi confirmado na íntegra, pois resiliência não apresentou relações significativas com bem-estar. Além disso, somente otimismo revelou poder explicativo sobre afetos positivos, afetos negativos e realização (dimensões de BET). Destaca-se que capital psicológico demonstrou maior peso na predição de BET que percepção de suporte organizacional, exceto no caso de afeto negativo. Os resultados indicam que tanto variáveis individuais quanto variáveis contextuais são importantes para explicar a prevalência de BET.(AU)
This study aimed to test a model in which well-being at work (WBW) is explained by the perception of organizational support and psychological capital. This is a quantitative, cross-sectional and correlational study, in which the sample consisted of 227 workers, most whom were female (57.7%), mean age of 29 years, and with prevalence of incomplete and complete higher education representing 65.2% of the participants. Most work in the private sector (68.3%) and do not occupy a leadership position. Reliable and valid instruments were used for the investigated constructs. For data analysis, descriptive statistics, means comparison tests (t test and ANOVA), and multiple regression analysis (standard method) were used. Among the results, optimism, self-efficacy/hope (psychological capital), and the perception of organizational support were identified as explanatory variables of the experiences of WBW. Therefore, the model has not been fully confirmed, as resilience did not show significant relationships with well-being. In addition, only optimism showed explanatory power about positive affects, negative affects and achievement (dimensions of WBW). Note that psychological capital had a greater weight in the prediction of WBW than the perception of organizational support, except in the case of negative affect. These results indicate that both individual and contextual variables are important to explain the prevalence of WBW.(AU)

Se trata de un estudio cuantitativo, transversal y correlacional en que la muestra estuvo conformada por 227 trabajadores, en su mayoría mujeres (57,7%), con edad media de 29 años, y predominio de estudios superiores incompletos y completos en el 65,2% de los participantes. La mayoría trabaja en el sector privado (68,3%) y no ocupa una posición de liderazgo. Se utilizaron instrumentos fiables y válidos para los constructos investigados. Para el análisis de datos se utilizó la estadística descriptiva, pruebas de comparación de medias (prueba t y ANOVA) y análisis de regresión múltiple (método estándar). Los resultados apuntan que el optimismo, la autoeficacia/esperanza (capital psicológico) y la percepción de apoyo organizacional se constituyeron como variables explicativas de BT. Por lo tanto, el modelo no se confirmó por completo, ya que la resiliencia no mostró ninguna relación significativa con el bienestar. Además, solo el optimismo mostró poder explicativo sobre los afectos positivos, los afectos negativos y el logro (dimensiones de BT). Es de destacar que el capital psicológico tuvo un mayor peso en la predicción de BT que la percepción de apoyo organizacional, excepto en el caso del afecto negativo. Estos resultados indican que tanto las variables individuales como las contextuales son importantes para explicar la prevalencia de BT.(AU)

Background Occupational stress and depressive symptoms of disease prevention and control personnel are serious. Objective To investigate the relationship between occupational stress, psychological capital, and depressive symptoms of disease prevention and control personnel, and analyze the potential mediating effect of psychological capital on the relationship between occupational stress and depressive symptoms. Methods From July to September 2020, a cluster random sampling method was used to select 2201 employees from 21 centers for disease control and prevention as study subjects covering all levels of administrative divisions in Jiangsu Province. A total of 2036 valid questionnaires were collected with a recovery rate of 92.5%. The Core Occupational Stress Scale, Patient Health Questionnaire, and Psychological Capital Questionnaire were used to investigate their occupational stress, depressive symptoms, and psychological capital. Stratified regression analysis was used to explore the effects of occupational stress and psychological capital on depressive symptoms. A mediating effect model was used to analyze and verify the potential mediating effect of psychological capital on the relationship between occupational stress and depressive symptoms. Results The total scores in M (P25, P75) of occupational stress, depressive symptoms, and psychological capital in the target population were 42.0 (37.0, 48.0), 8.0 (4.0, 9.0), and 4.6 (4.0, 5.0) respectively. The positive rate of occupational stress was 31.0% (631/2036), and the positive rate of depressive symptoms was 22.0% (448/2036). The dimensional scores of organization and reward, and demand and effort of occupational stress were positively correlated with the total score of depressive symptoms [Spearman correlation coefficients (rs) were 0.371 and 0.269, P<0.05]. The dimensional scores of social support and autonomy of occupational stress and the score of psychological capital were negatively correlated with the total score of depressive symptoms (rs=−0.373, −0.112, −0.494, P<0.05). The organization and reward, and demand and effort had positive effects on depressive symptoms (b=0.188, 0.177, P<0.05), while social support and autonomy had negative effects on depressive symptoms (b=−0.290, −0.078, P<0.05), and associated with a 22.5% increase of explanatory variance. Psychological capital had a negative effect on depressive symptoms (b=−0.368, P<0.05), and associated with an 11.0% increase of explanatory variance. Psychological capital had mediating effects on the associations of social support, organization and reward, and autonomy with depressive symptoms, and the mediating effect values were −0.210 (95%CI: −0.253-−0.171), 0.096 (95%CI: 0.071-0.122), and −0.164 (95%CI: −0.229-−0.103), respectively. The corresponding mediating effect percentages were 40.23%, 26.97%, and 45.56%, respectively. Conclusion Occupational stress of disease prevention and control personnel can directly affect depressive symptoms, but also indirectly through psychological capital. Psychological capital plays a partial mediating role in the associations of social support, organization and reward, and autonomy of occupational stress with depressive symptoms. The occurrence of depressive symptoms can be reduced by decreasing occupational stress and increasing psychological capital.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the moderating and mediating effects of psychological capital in the associations of job monotony and depressive symptoms.Methods:A convenient sampling method was used to sample 1 473 workers from a natural gas field in southwest China in October 2018.The sociodemographic characteristics, job monotony scale, PsyCap questionnaire and center of epidemiological survey, depression scale(CES-D) were conducted.Data were analyzed by SPSS 22.0 and Process v3.2 softwares.The statistical methods included t-test, one-way ANOVA, χ2 test, partial correlation analysis, multivariate regression analysis or Bootstrap method. Results:A total of 323 workers with depressive symptoms were detected, with a detection rate of 21.9%(323/1 473). The correlation analysis results showed that job monotony (13.67±1.38) was negatively correlated with self-efficacy (25.81±4.56), hope(25.91±4.55), resilience (26.80±3.80) and optimism (24.56±3.17) ( r=-0.26, -0.38, -0.36, -0.42 respectively, all P<0.01), and positively correlated with depressive symptoms ( r=0.50, P<0.01). Self-efficacy ( r=-0.38, P<0.05), hope ( r=-0.44, P<0.05), resilience ( r=-0.43, P<0.01) and optimism ( r=-0.47, P<0.01) were negatively correlated with depressive symptoms.The multivariate regression analysis results showed that self-efficacy and optimism had moderating effects on the associations of job monotony and depressive symptoms (both P<0.05), while hope and resilience had no moderating effects on the associations of job monotony and depressive symptoms (both P>0.05). The mediating effect test results showed that self-efficacy, hope, resilience and optimism played partial mediating roles in the associations of job monotony and depressive symptoms (all P<0.01), and the mediating effects were 0.139, 0.304, 0.232 and 0.339 respectively, and the proportion of mediating effect value to total effect was 12.2%, 23.3%, 18.8% and 25.3% respectively. Conclusion:Self-efficacy and optimism have moderating and mediating effects on the associations of job monotony and depressive symptoms, while hope and resilience have only mediating effects on the relationship between job monotony and depressive symptoms.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the chain mediating effect of adult attachment and psychological capital on the relationship between parenting style and mental health of university students.Methods:The short-form egna minnen av barndoms uppfostran (s-EMBU), experiences in close relationship inventory (ECR), positive psycap questionnaire (PPQ) and mental health scale for residents (MHSR) were adopted to test 1 415 students from 23 universities in Beijing.Pearson correlation analysis and regression analysis were performed by SPSS 24.0 software, the structural equation model was built by Mplus 8.0 software, and mediating effect analysis was conducted by Bootstrap method.Results:Mental health of university students (241.48±30.19) was positively correlated ( r=0.40-0.84, all P<0.01) with positive parenting style (father emotional warmth (2.97±0.67), mother emotional warmth (3.10±0.62)) and psychological capital (4.91±0.84). And the mental health of university students was negatively correlated ( r=-0.36--0.18, all P<0.01) with negative parenting style (father rejection (1.42±0.53), mother rejection (1.42±0.51), father overprotection (2.06±0.53), mother overprotection (2.18±0.55)) and adult attachment (attachment avoidance (3.31±0.88), attachment anxiety (3.66±0.97). Adult attachment was the mediation between parenting style (rejection, emotional warmth, over protection) and mental health ( β=-0.04, 0.04, -0.04, 95% CI=-0.08--0.01, 0.02-0.07, -0.07--0.02), while psychological capital was the mediation between parental emotional warmth and mental health ( β=0.21, 95% CI=0.14-0.26), both of which played a chain mediating role between parenting style and mental health ( β=-0.15, 0.11, -0.12, 95% CI=-0.21--0.10, 0.07-0.16, -0.18--0.07). Conclusion:Parenting style can not only directly affect mental health, but also indirectly affect mental health through the mediating role of adult attachment and the chain mediating role of adult attachment and psychological capital.
