Hoje fala-se de Sentimento Psicológico de Comunidade (SPC) como algo que sempre esteve presente. Trata-se de um conceito que foi introduzido no corpo teórico da psicologia comunitária por Sarason (1974). Tem sido objecto de muita discussão, de algumas teorias e de numerosos estudos empíricos. SPC é compreendido intuitivamente mas difícil de definir. Supõe uma concepção de comunidade sobre a qual deve ser construído. Neste artigo apresentamos uma revisão de literatura do conceito e exploramos a sua diversidade.

“…As propostas de expansões do modelo de McMillan e Chavis (e.g., Burroughs & Eby, 1998;McMillan, 1996;Puddifoot, 1995), não são nem teórica nem empiricamente interessantes e podem confundir preditores de SPC com resultados de SPC.…”

“…We started wording and collecting items on several positive reports in the literature, including authentizotic organizations, best places to work for (Levering & Moskowitz, 1993), psychological sense of community at work (Burroughs & Eby, 1998), living companies (De Geus, 1997), and family-friendly companies (e.g., Strachan & Burgess, 1998). We developed items that met the seven senses that, according to Kets de Vries, are essential for the of creation of authentizotic workplaces and for promoting employee health: purpose, self-determination, impact, competence, belonging, meaning and enjoyment.…”

Perceptions of Authentizotic Climates and Employee Happiness: Pathways to Individual Performance?

We discuss how six dimensions of the authentizotic psychological climate explain stress and affective well-being at work, and how stress and affective well-being explain self-reported individual performance. The sample comprises 199 employees from 118 organizations. The findings indicate the good psychometric properties of the authentizotic climate measure, and suggest that (a) affective well-being, mainly enthusiasm and vigor, explain unique variance of selfreported performance and (b) the perceptions of authentizotic climates explain unique variance of stress, affective well-being and self-reported performance. A configurational approach is also presented for dealing with the ways people combine their perceptions of authentizotic climates, emotional states, stress and self-reported performance.Keywords: authentizotic psychological climate; stress; affective well-being at work; self-reported individual performance 3 In a paper on the value of happiness in the workplace, Gavin and Mason (2004) stressed that economic productivity has been extracted from the average worker, in large measure, at the cost of his/her health and happiness and that this trend towards dysfunctional effects needs to be reversed.This reversion is what the "positive organization studies" movement (Seligman & Csikszentmihalyi, 2000;Luthans, 2002;Cameron et al., 2003) have been looking for. It suggests that more efforts must be devoted to developing people's strengths, to help people achieve happiness and to contribute to make life meaningful. Gavin and Mason (2004) illustrated their arguments with companies ranked in Fortune's "100 best companies to work for". This ranking, published in several countries, considers five dimensions as characteristic of the good workplace: credibility, respect, fairness, pride and camaraderie. The ranking affords the idea a great deal of attention, with featured companies serving as potential benchmarks to organizations in search of improvement and good publicity. The presence in the ranking may be a significant source of reputation in the job market in this era of "war for talent" . The model represents the popular expression of a focus on the human side of the organization, which is also present in projects such as the Best Companies for Working Mothers and APA's Psychologically Healthy Workplace Award.A useful dialogue between the managerial and scholarly fields can be seen in the interest shown by the academia in the positive impact of "best places to work for" on organizational performance (Filbeck & Preece, 2003;Fulmer et al., 2003). One prominent example of this dialogue arose when Kets de Vries' (2001) notion of the "authentizotic organization" to capture the essence of these workplaces. "Authentizotic" is a neologism that combines the Greek words "authentekos" and "zoteekos", meaning that an organization is trustful and reliant, and vital to life, respectively.The idea underpinning the authentizotic theory is that organizations can be a source of meaning and growth for people, instead of l...

El propósito de este artículo es investigar la conexión existente entre el Sentido Psicológico de Comunidad, la Participación Comunitaria y el análisis de redes organizativas, examinando la influencia que dichos enfoques ejercen en los niveles de análisis individual, organizativo y comunitario. Para alcanzar este objetivo, ofrecemos una revisión de la literatura en las tres perspectivas y, a continuación, se analiza el modo en que quedan articulados con los distintos niveles de análisis. Finalmente, exponemos algunas aportaciones que la aplicación de un enfoque ecológico multinivel puede tener para mejorar la efectividad de las intervenciones comunitarias.
