“…Several factor analytic studies have demonstrated that hope and optimism are distinct, albeit related, constructs (Bryant & Cvengros, 2004;Fowler, Weber, Klappa, & Miller, 2017;Gallagher & Lopez, 2009;Rand, 2009). In line with this, when measured together, hope and optimism uniquely predict several aspects of psychological well-being, including depressive symptoms (Wong & Lim, 2009), suicidal behaviors (Lucas, Chang, Lee, & Hirsch, 2018), and life satisfaction (Rand, Martin, & Shea, 2011;Wong & Lim, 2009).…”

“…Rather than formulating an expectation about the future based solely on the abilities of the self (c.f., hope), optimistic expectancies are thought to stem from several factors, including beliefs about the self, other people, the world, and luck (Rand, 2009). In line with this, existing theoretical and empirical research has differentiated hope and optimism based on where positive expectancies are derived (Bryant & Cvengros, 2004;Fowler, Weber, Klappa, & Miller, 2017;Rand, 2018;Rand & Cheavens, 2009;Snyder, 1994;Scheier & Carver, 1985).…”

“…Historically, these two constructs have been used interchangeably. Recently, Fowler et al ( 2017 ) confirmed that though the two shared common properties that pertain to global expectancy, they were indeed distinct constructs as indicated by their unique associations with other measures. Thus, their findings supported that optimism and hope are best conceptualized by a bi-factor model, which consists of both a global and a distinct two-factor component such that the two processes serve as different strategies to ensure success in goal attainment.…”

The Life Attitudes Scale (LAS) was designed to measure tragic optimism (TO)—a distinct type of optimism that could generate hopeless hope even in dire situations according to existential positive psychology (PP 2.0). This study explains why only a faith-based TO could serve as a buffer against suffering at the Nazi death camps as well as the global coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. In study 1, the results showed that the factorial structure of a 15-item LAS-Brief (LAS-B), which is a short measure of TO, replicated the original structure of the 32-item long version. The five factors (i.e., affirmation, acceptance, courage, faith, and self-transcendence) provided a good data model fit statistics for LAS-B; the measure had adequate-to-strong internal and latent construct reliability estimates. In study 2, the buffering effect of TO on the association between suffering experiences during COVID-19 and life satisfaction in adults was examined. The results of the studies were consistent with our hypothesis that TO as measured by LAS-B serves as a buffer against the impact of COVID-19 suffering on life satisfaction.

“…As a result, employees who have strong hopes will stay longer in the organization because employees intrinsically feel that they belong to the organization (Kool & Van Dierendonck, 2012). Hope involves the desire to fulfill goals, so that employees are motivated to show emotional attachment rather than merely an obligation to the organization (Fowler et al, 2017). In this study, hope is also positioned as a mediator between FTP and continuance commitment (see Figure 1), so explicit testing is needed to determine the extent to which hope brings the influence of FTP on continuance commitment.…”

In the Indonesian hotel industry, high employee turnover rates are very common costly. One of the reasons that causes hotel employee turnover to be high is low commitment. The low commitment is triggered by the low hope of hotel employees to remain and to be committed to continuing their careers in the hotel where they are working today. Employees need certainty about their future that should be guaranteed by hotel management. This study tries to analyze the role of Future Time Perspective (FTP) and its effect on hope and continuance commitment. The data were derived from distributing questionnaires to hotel employees spread in 45 three-star hotels in Surabaya, and subsequently analyzed using the General Structured Component Analysis (GSCA) tool. The results show that FTP influences hope and continuance commitment significantly. Similarly, hope has a significant effect on continuance commitment. Hope is also able to act as a mediator between FTP and continuance commitment.Keywords: hotel industry, future time perspective, hope, continuance commitment Implikasi Future Time Perspective dan Harapan Terhadap Continuance Commitment Karyawan HotelAbstrak: Di industri perhotelan Indonesia, tingkat turnover karyawan yang tinggi sudah menjadi rahasia umum dan sangat memakan biaya. Salah satu alasan yang menyebabkan tingginya tingkat turnover karyawan hotel adalah komitmen yang rendah. Komitmen yang rendah tersebut dipicu oleh rendahnya tingkat harapan karyawan hotel untuk tetap tinggal serta berkomitmen untuk melanjutkan karir di hotel tempat mereka bekerja saat ini. Karyawan hotel membutuhkan kepastian akan masa depannya yang seharusnya bisa dijamin oleh pihak manajemen hotel. Penelitian ini mencoba menganalisa peran Future Time perspective (FTP) dan pengaruhnya terhadap harapan dan continuance commitment karyawan hotel. Data penelitian berasal dari penyebaran kuesioner kepada karyawan hotel yang tersebar di 45 hotel bintang tiga di Surabaya dan selanjutnya dianalisis menggunakan alat analisis General Structured Component Analysis (GSCA). Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa FTP mempengaruhi harapan dan continuance commitment secara signifikan. Harapan juga berpengaruh secara signifikan terhadap continuance commitment. Harapan juga berperan sebagai mediator antara FTP dan continuance commitment.Kata kunci: industri perhotelan, future time perspective, harapan, continuance commitment
