“…In contrast, low hope students tend to adopt pessimistic attitudes that negatively affect subsequent activities (Snyder et al, 1996). Research by Duckworth (2016) also indicates that the concept of grit, which refers to the passion, perseverance and sustained self-control to pursue personally relevant and long-term goals, is related to the concept of hope.…”

“…Snyder and colleagues suggest that high hope students tend to draw on past experiences, regardless of whether goals were achieved or not, as diagnostic feedback to inform subsequent actions and plans (Snyder et al, 1996). In contrast, low hope students tend to adopt pessimistic attitudes that negatively affect subsequent activities (Snyder et al, 1996).…”

This article reports on a qualitative study that explored the use of coping strategies among first-year students in managing academic-related stressors. Qualitative data were collected using a non-probability and purposive sample. A total of 225 first-year students who were registered at a South African university participated in the study by writing naïve sketches. A narrative framework was adopted and data were analysed using thematic analysis. Six categories of stressors emerged from the data and were categorised as financial, spiritual, physical, emotional, mental and institutional. The qualitative findings also pointed to three prominent coping strategies, namely problem-focused coping, emotion-focused coping and meaning-making. The reported outcomes of employing coping strategies included both positive and negative aspects. An overarching theme, entitled 'hanging in there' was interpreted from the data and points to an innate sense of hope that assists participants in managing stressors. Implications for student affairs practitioners and areas for further study are discussed.

“…Those with high hope will have the ability to set appropriate goals and find alternative paths of action to obtain desired outcomes. Hope has been positively associated with academic achievement (Snyder, Wiklund, & Cheavens, 1999), athletic performance (Curry & Snyder, 2000), preventing and recovering from physical illness (Irving, Snyder, & Crowson, 1998;Snyder, Feldman, Taylor, Schroeder, & Adams, 2000), coping with disability (Elliott, Witty, Herrick, & Hoffman, 1991), and psychological adjustment (Snyder, Cheavens, & Michael, 1999). More specific to this study, in a two-staged study of POB constructs, Youssef and Luthans (2007) found significant positive relationships between hope and employee performance, job satisfaction, and happiness.…”

Much attention has been given to the explosion in business process outsourcing (BPO) operations in India. Little concern, however, has been paid to the performance of Indian service workers in these fast‐paced and sometimes turbulent environments. Using a sample of 160 service workers from a privately held BPO firm in India, we examine the relationship between Indian service workers' hope and their performance outcomes. Regression and structural equation model analyses indicated a significant positive relationship between Indian service workers' levels of hope and their performance. These promising results highlight the importance of measuring and managing employee hope to maximize employee productivity and performance. By effectively developing and managing levels of employee hope, Indian BPO firms can effectively combat employee problems such as attrition, stress, and burnout that have plagued the BPO industry. Hope may also help mitigate the influence of aspects of Indian culture on human resource management practices in Indian BPOs. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

“…That means that hopeful individuals are looking for something positive in a variety of conditions. Also, some researches have suggested that optimism is predominately related to agency hope and that hope pathways has unique contribution and beyond what was affected by optimism (see Snyder et al, 2002).…”

This study examined (a) students' (n= 342, both genders, grades 5 and 6) attributions and emotions for their subjectively perceived school performance in language and mathematics as successful or unsuccessful, (b) the role of students' hope (pathways thinking, agency thinking) in the: perceived performance in the above school subjects as successful or unsuccessful, subsequent attributions and emotions, impact of attributions on emotions, and,in turn,interactive effect on performance expectations. The estimated as successful and unsuccessful school performance was predominately attributed to stable and unstable (external in language) factors, respectively. The students experienced intense positive and moderate negative emotions for the perceived successful and unsuccessful school performance, respectively. Hope (mainly, agency thinking) positively influenced the attributions (particularly, stability) and emotions (mainly, pathway thinking), and the impact of attributions on emotions, mainly in unsuccessful performance in mathematics. Hope, attributions and emotions had unique and complimentarily effect on performance expectations.
