“…Items on the facet-specific measure of job satisfaction were modelled after Olsen's (1993) extended and modified measure of Quinn and Staines (1979) to suit the realities of an academic career. This measure has been used by other authors (Busch et al 1998). These facet-specific items covered a wide range of areas related to job satisfaction and dissatisfaction according to previous research and the qualitative findings of the first stage of the study.…”

“…Recent evidence has shown that organisational commitment has beneficial consequences for the academic staffs' research and teaching contributions (Busch et al 1998). In the Spanish case, Bayona et al (2000) analyse organisational commitment of academic staff working in a university institution and provide evidence that variables related to work and group are significantly related to attitudinal commitment.…”

“…Hence, human resource strategies are dependent on a better knowledge of important work-related variables, such as job satisfaction, organisational commitment and selfefficacy. These variables are keys to understanding the motivational base and the qualitative performance in the university sector to enhance the capability of management through commitment (Busch et al 1998). …”

The relationships and differences in how academic staff perceive their work and organisation are of great importance for human resource strategies in the higher education sector. The present study examines work-related attitudes of academic staff, namely job satisfaction, self-efficacy and organisational commitment. The purpose is to analyse how these attitudes differ among groups of individuals. Results show that there is an alternative way of classifying academic staff into distinct groups based on work-related attitudes apart from the conventional classification based on position alone. Findings suggest that university managers should be careful in balancing between different systems of control or incentive.

“…A number of previous researchers have reported mixed findings on the relationship between JS and OC. For instance, Busch et al, (1998) found a significant relationship between JS and OC. Other researchers (Chiu-Yueh, 2000;Mannheim et al, 1997) found that JS was a significant predictor of OC.…”

Background: Psychological Capital (PsyCap) is a core construct in the literature of positive psychology. However, there is considerably less evidence on its positive effects on Employee Attitudes (EA) and Employee Performance (EP). Purpose:The objective of this study is to provide empirical evidence on the relationships between PsyCap, EA and EP. This paper also seeks to present the theoretical development of PsyCap, Job Satisfaction (JS), Organizational Commitment (OC), EP and their application to employees at Teaching Hospitals practices. , 1974; and Trimble, 2006), EP (EP Questionnaire, Black & Porter, 1991; and Caligiuri, 1997). Out of the 357 questionnaires that were distributed to employees at Teaching Hospitals in Egypt, 315 usable questionnaires were returned, a response rate of 88%. Research Findings:The results indicated the expected significant positive relationships between PsyCap, JS, OC and EP. In other words, self-efficacy, optimism, hope and resilience significantly correlated with EA and EP. The results also supported the hypothesized model. The study findings support the view that PsyCap, JS, OC, and EP are related constructs. Practical Implications:The study suggests that Teaching Hospitals in Egypt can improve EA and EP by influencing its PsyCap, specifically, by developing self-efficacy, optimism, hope and resilience. The study provided that it is necessary to pay more attention to the dimensions of PsyCap as a key source for organizations to enhance the competitive advantage which is of prime significance for EA and EP. Originality/Value: Preliminary evidence of the psychometric properties of the PCQ-24, which measures the construct of PsyCap (hope, self-efficacy, resilience and optimism) on an Egyptian sample, is provided in this study. Also, this study discusses the additional studies essential for further development of research based on organizational and management effectiveness.
