“…We provide evidence that the relationship between psychological capital and internal learning is mediated by the perceived team structure. This confirms that one of the distinctive features of psychological capital, and one that has an important practical contribution to make, is its openness to change and development (Choi & Lee, 2014;Han, Brooks, Kakabadse, Peng, & Zhu, 2012;Nwanzu & Babalola, 2019).…”

RESUMO Pesquisas anteriores sobre a aprendizagem interna concentraram-se em avaliar como as taxas de aprendizagem observadas afetam as interações colaborativas entre os vários atores. Assim, agregamos valor a essa literatura ao analisar a aprendizagem interna em equipes e o papel do capital psicológico nesse processo. Este estudo tem como objetivo analisar o papel mediador da estrutura percebida da equipe na relação entre capital psicológico positivo e aprendizagem interna em equipes. Para tanto, um questionário foi aplicado a 480 estudantes universitários para testar essa relação, utilizando a metodologia de modelagem de equações estruturais. Os resultados confirmaram o papel mediador da estrutura percebida da equipe na relação entre capital psicológico e aprendizagem interna em equipes. Argumentamos que este trabalho reforça o papel do capital psicológico em contextos acadêmicos. Por outro lado, devido às rápidas mudanças verificadas atualmente na sociedade, os estudantes universitários, que são futuros funcionários, precisam desenvolver o capital psicológico, a fim de obter melhores resultados de aprendizagem.

This study develops a mediated model to investigate the relationship between entrepreneurial selfefficacy and entrepreneurial intention among Vietnamese students. This model also focuses on examining the role of subjective norms on shaping entrepreneurial intention. By using a meta-analytic path analysis with a sample of 2218 students at 14 universities in Vietnam and based on the theory of planned behaviour, authors find that subjective norms did not directly influence on entrepreneurial intention but it had strong indirect effect on entrepreneurial intention through entrepreneurial self-efficacy, attitude toward entrepreneurship and perceived behavioural control. Moreover, the relationship between self-efficacy and entrepreneurial intention was also mediated by attitude towards entrepreneurship and perceived behavioural control. In terms of direct effect, the result illustrates that attitudes towards entrepreneurship had the strongest effect on entrepreneurial intention among Vietnamese students, followed by entrepreneurial self-efficacy. These findings also show that the theory of planned behaviour could be effectively applied in the context of transitional economics in Vietnam.

“…Optimism efficiently and professionally diminishes adverse behavioral responses (Drugan, 2000;Maier & Watkins, 2000;Peterson, 2000;Peterson & Bossio, 1991;Seligman, 1991;Seligman, Martin, & Csikszentmihalyi, 2000), moreover, optimists tend to assume good things occur to them, shows more optimistic attitudes i.e. life satisfaction, acceptance of organizational change, creative performance (Bouzari & Karatepe, 2020;Jaworski et al, 2020;Nwanzu & Babalola, 2019;Seo & Lim, 2019;Siniver & Yaniv, 2019) thus, optimism tends to be an important source of positive change that also observed as a psychological aspect to overcome the physical and psychological health matters (Basten-Günther, Peters, & Lautenbacher, 2019). Additionally, Xanthopoulou et al (2009) theorize that optimism affects employees' efficiency at the workplace and the level of optimism helps the peoples to understand, shape and respond to the environment (Judge, Locke, & Durham, 1997;Xanthopoulou et al, 2009).…”

“…It was observed that optimism negatively predicted burnout, and optimistic individuals much better tackle OBT i.e. emotional exhaustion, fatigue and cynicism, due to their strong confidence in self-efficacy and well-being that resulted to high-level of satisfaction (Seo & Lim, 2019;Vizoso, Arias-Gundín, & Rodríguez, 2019) and these individuals also helpful during the implementation of the change process in organizations (Nwanzu & Babalola, 2019). Also, Kobasa (1979), observed hardiness as a construct of three mechanisms and presented the notion as control, commitment, and challenge.…”

Integration of social cognitive theory and hardiness theory, this study aimed to investigate the mediating mechanism of job crafting and the direct effect of empowering leadership that causes occupational burnout with the sample from law enforcement institutions. The authors also tested the moderating effect of employee optimism and employee hardiness between the linkage of job crafting and occupational burnout. To test the proposed hypothesis of this study, 192 participants from the law enforcement institution of Punjab, Pakistan participate in this study voluntarily. The findings of the study suggest that job crafting mediates the relationship between empowering leadership and occupational burnout. Furthermore, the authors found that employee optimism and hardiness moderate the relationship between empowering leadership and occupational burnout. The result of moderated mediation analysis revealed that the indirect effect of empowering leadership on occupational burnout was weakening when employee optimism and hardiness level was high. The findings of this study declared that empowering leadership has adverse consequences on employees’ physical and psychological health that decrease the well-being and employee optimism and hardiness reduce that stress level and enhance the intrinsic motivational level. Top management of law enforcement institutions must focus especially on the psychological health of employees and provide climate and psychological training that mitigates the harmful consequences of empowering leadership. Also, the authors through this study respond to the calls of prior researches as slight researches have studied the negative consequences of empowering leadership.
