Ver documento

Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:Purpose - The purpose of the study is to examine the mediating role of Affective Well-Being (AWB) in the relationship between Psychological Capital (PsyCap) and Affective Commitment. Methodology - The sample included 226 employees from diverse Portuguese organizations. Based on a survey, respondents reported their perceptions of own PsyCap, AWB and affective commitment to their organization. Findings - Results from Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) suggested presence of mediation by AWB in the relationship between PsyCap and Affective Commitment. Practical implications - Managers are encouraged to gain from this finding by emphasizing more on the emotional health of individuals to increase their attachment with the company. Originality/value - Though there are several studies indicating the positive consequences of PsyCap on employees, studies on how PsyCap affects Affective Commitment through AWB is scarce. These results advance the broaden-and-build theory by suggesting that the relationship between PsyCap and affective commitment is much more complex.
