“…As individuals with negotiable fates would maintain their efforts, we speculated that grit (both PE and CI) would be positively associated with negotiable fates. This speculation could be supported by the previous empirical findings regarding hope, with a positive affect (Hill et al, 2014; Raphiphatthana & Jose, 2021) and with goal commitment (Tang et al, 2019), and would be more prevalent when in a social-cultural context where individuals face many constraints in pursuing their goals and daily lives (Au et al, 2012; Chaturvedi et al, 2009). H2a: Grit is positively associated with a negotiable fate H2b: Grit-PE is positively associated with a negotiable fate H2c: Grit-CI is positively associated with a negotiable fate Besides, negotiable fate is hypothesized to be positively associated with student engagement.…”

“…Students with higher perseverance of efforts (PE) would tend to navigate with socioecology or environmental constraints during the pandemic (Au et al, 2011), such as utilizing their available resources (Au et al, 2017) and using technological devices for communication. The perseverance may transform into a belief, enabling students to hold hope with a positive affect (Hill et al, 2014; Raphiphatthana & Jose, 2021). In turn, students work around the obstacles toward goal commitment (Tang et al, 2019) by managing fate in various ways.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has altered learning and teaching approaches in higher education. Research concerning COVID-19 revealed inconsistent results on student engagement, which is a robust predictor of academic performance in higher education. This exploratory study examines the relationship between grit and student engagement in the pandemic through the mediating role of negotiable fate. Although previous research demonstrated that grit could positively predict student engagement, there have been inconsistent findings between the two sub-factors of grit: consistency of interest (grit-CI) and perseverance of effort (grit-PE). Besides, there is a lack of theoretical explanation of the mechanism between grit and engagement. The adaptation of negotiable fate seeks to provide one of the pathways of how grit would be associated with student engagement. To examine these hypotheses, the present study recruited 339 undergraduate students from two universities in Hong Kong to participate in an online survey. The results showed that grit, grit-PE, and negotiable fate positively correlate with student engagement, but the path of grit-CI did not reveal any significant results. After accounting for the mediating effect of negotiable fate, grit-PE still positively correlates with student engagement, suggesting a partial mediation model. This study provides empirical evidence that grit positively predicts student engagement with the mediation of negotiable fate. However, only grit-PE was positively associated with other variables, while grit-CI did not reveal any significant predictions. The present study (1) extends the understanding of the mechanism between grit and student engagement and (2) explores the mediating role of negotiable fate in this relationship in the higher education context. Theoretical and practical implications of this mediation model among grit, negotiable fate, and student engagement were discussed.

“…Additionally, previous research is insufficient in terms of recognising the need, importance and implementation for fostering grit among working professionals by inculcating transpersonal factors such as metacognition, flow, empathy and optimism. Current knowledge on predictors has found hope and low rumination as the antecedents of grit (Raphiphatthana and Jose, 2021) which, although significantly helps in advancing research on constructs of positive psychology in relation to grit, but is limited in providing a sustainable framework for developing and generating grit, especially at workplaces. Olckers and Koekemoer (2021) explored the underlying mechanisms which can contribute to career success and found psychological ownership as the possible construct influencing performance through grit and the perception of career success.…”

Antecedents and Consequences of Grit Among Working Adults: A Transpersonal Psychology Perspective

Positive psychology has paved the way for newer and more informed ideas of living a meaningful, integrated and well-rounded quality of living. The current era of the pandemic has also moulded the ways in which individuals perceive their quality of life and how they want to integrate a holistic approach towards their well-being. The workplace settings have seen tremendous changes in terms of how employers, employees and the organisations at large function and operate. The pre-pandemic concept of success has shifted its focus from hard work to developing grit among employees to increase the overall efficiency of the organisations. Grit has revolutionised the conventional standards of success, meaning in life and has impacted personal as well as occupational welfare. This integration of positive psychology and transpersonal psychology has catalysed the purpose for the current study. To help organisations and individuals thrive in their professional endeavours at the workplace and to provide them with relevant psychological tools to enhance their occupational growth, the present study has been conducted empirically to investigate the antecedents and consequences of grit among 209 working professionals in India. The results of this study indicate that the transpersonal capital of metacognition, flow, optimism and empathy have a significant role to play in developing grit among the participants. The findings have implications for enhancing job satisfaction and job performance of participants. The current research also provides a framework to organisations towards designing interventions for improving efficiency at the workplace.
