“…Ding and Lin (2020) found that employees high in core self-evaluation are more inclined to play to their strengths at work. Although personality traits are generally treated as stable (Santor et al, 1997), recent research has indicated that personality traits are malleable (Hanif et al, 2019). Therefore, organizations should design and implement training programs cultivating core self-evaluation to enhance employee strengths use and in turn, psychological well-being.…”

Drawing upon ability-motivation-opportunity model, the present study attempts to inspect the association of strengths-based leadership with employee psychological well-being and the mediational role of employee strengths use and the moderating role of job autonomy in the linkage. Data were gathered using a three-wave survey from a sample of 308 employees working in a wide variety of organizations in China. Results of multiple regression analyses with bootstrapping procedure revealed that strengths-based leadership positively relates to employee psychological well-being even after controlling for employee core self-evaluation. In addition, employee strengths use was found to partially mediate the relationship of strengths-based leadership with employee psychological well-being, and this study demonstrated job autonomy to positively moderate the direct relationship of strengths-based leadership with strengths use of employee and the indirect association of strengths-based leadership with employee psychological well-being through employee strengths use. The present study advances strengths-based leadership and psychological well-being theories and research.

“…The relapse rate is approximately 90% in Pakistan [ 63 ]. The use of psychosocial therapies is often accepted in countries like Pakistan, where opioid substitution therapy or agonist maintenance therapy such as using methadone is illegal [ 64 ]. As a result, there may be long-term benefits to promoting personality-targeted therapy to aid in the recovery of persons who are affected by substance-use disorders.…”

A substantial portion of drug abuse research has concentrated on people with a single-substance-use disorder (SSUD), but many people abuse more than one drug. Studies have yet to examine how those with polysubstance-use disorder (PSUD) differ from those with an SSUD on the risk of relapse, self-evaluative emotions (e.g., shame and guilt), and personality factors (e.g., self-efficacy). Eleven rehab facilities in Lahore city, Pakistan were randomly chosen to provide a sample of 402 males with PSUD. For comparison, 410 age-matched males with SSUD were enlisted using a demographic form with eight questions, the State Shame and Guilt Scale, and the General Self-Efficacy Scale. Mediated moderation analysis was performed using Hayes’ process macro. The results demonstrate that shame-proneness is positively associated with relapse rate. Guilt-proneness mediates the relationship between shame-proneness and relapse rate. Self-efficacy buffers the influence of shame-proneness on relapse rate. Although the mediation and moderation effects were found in both study groups, these effects were significantly stronger among people with PSUD than those with SSUD. To be more specific, people with PSUD reported a higher overall score on shame, guilt, and relapse rate. Additionally, people with SSUD indicated a higher score on self-efficacy than those with PSUD. The findings of this study suggest that drug rehab facilities should implement a variety of strategies to raise drug users’ levels of self-efficacy, which will help to reduce their risk of relapse.

“…For one thing, our findings enrich the literature about the relevant variables of substance abuse treatment in Chinese culture. Related studies have concentrated on the Big Five personality traits and largely ignored the impact of DT ( 2 ). Combined with previous studies, our findings provide a more complete picture by including the DT as a factor that may relate to confidence in substance abuse treatment and subjective evaluation of treatment outcome.…”

“…For example, an estimated 28 million “healthy” life lost worldwide in 2015 as a result of premature death and disability caused by substance abuse. However, the effectiveness of current substance abuse treatment programs is questioned due to the high rate of relapse after treatment ( 2 ). Thus, clarifying the risk factors for the recurrence of substance abuse is imperative.…”

“…For example, drug users (who use heroin and cocaine) are found to generally show higher neuroticism and lower conscientiousness of Big Five personality traits than healthy controls and smokers ( 5 ). Neuroticism may be a risk factor for the recurrence of substance abuse, while conscientiousness is a protective factor for recovery ( 2 ).…”

Meaning in life as a mediator of dark triad with confidence in treatment and subjective evaluation of treatment outcome among male drug abstainers

BackgroundAlthough the roles of personality in predicting substance abuse have been widely documented, few studies have investigated the relationships the dark triad (DT) personalities had with confidence in treatment (CIT) and subjective evaluation of treatment outcome (SETO) in drug abstainers.ObjectiveThis study examined the relationship between DT and treatment-relevant variables, and the potential effect of meaning in life (MIL) in these links.MethodsParticipants were male inpatients who started substance abuse treatment between June and December 2018 in Henan Province, China. The inclusion criteria were the diagnosis of substance use disorders. The exclusion criteria were illiteracy, comorbidity with psychopathology disorders, intellectual disability, and refusal of consent. A total of 236 men (aged 21–62 years, M = 45.30, SD = 7.72) were randomly selected and reported their DT, MIL, CIT, and SETO.ResultsResults showed that DT was negatively correlated with MIL, CIT, and SETO. MIL was positively correlated with CIT and SETO. The dark triad is associated with CIT both directly and indirectly via MIL. DT is indirectly correlated with SETO via MIL. Higher levels of DT in drug abstainers can reduce CIT and SETO by decreasing individual's MIL.ConclusionThis study provides insights into the links between the DT and treatment-relevant variables, which can potentially impact the effectiveness of current substance abuse treatment programs.
