“…These findings suggest that job resources and career competencies may have a mutually reinforcing effect on employee wellbeing, similar to earlier findings with regard to job resources and personal resources (e.g., Xanthopoulou et al, 2009). These findings are in line with the principles of COR theory (Hobfoll, 2002), which states that so-called resource caravans may develop in which resources can create additional resources, which, in turn, foster work engagement. In addition, although our cross-sectional data prevented us from testing causal and reciprocal effects, our findings are in line with the notion that job resources and personal resources may form a gain spiral that contributes to engagement (Xanthopoulou et al, 2009).…”

This study investigated the role of career competencies as a mediator in the Job DemandsResources model. Structural equation modeling with data from 305 young employed persons aged 16-30 years showed that career competencies are positively related to job resources and work engagement, but not to job demands and emotional exhaustion. Furthermore, career competencies had a partially mediating effect on the relationship between job resources and work engagement, and job resources had a partially mediating effect on the relationship between career competencies and work engagement. These findings suggest that career competencies may act in a similar way as personal resources in fostering work engagement. Our results underline the importance of combining research on job design and career development, and suggest that career competencies may have a role in stimulating employee wellbeing. Career counselors and HR programs may benefit from this insight by simultaneously increasing job resources and career competencies to increase employee wellbeing.

Psychological resources in spinal cord injury: a systematic literature review

et al. 2011

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Study design: Systematic literature review. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to gain a systematic overview of the role of psychological resources in the adjustment to spinal cord injury (SCI). Methods: A systematic literature review was performed. The literature search was conducted in the databases Pubmed, PsycINFO, the Social Sciences Citation Index, the Education Resources Information Center, Embase and the Citation Index of Nursing and Allied Health Literature. The assessed variables, measurement instruments, results and the methodological quality of the studies were extracted, summarized and evaluated. Results: A total of 83 mainly cross-sectional studies were identified. Psychological resources were categorized into seven groups: self-efficacy (SE), self-esteem, sense of coherence (SOC), spirituality, optimism, intellect and other personality characteristics. SE and self-esteem were consistently associated with positive adjustment indicators such as high well-being and better mental health. Interrelations between psychological resources and key rehabilitation outcome variables such as participation were rarely studied. Only a few interventions, which were aimed at strengthening psychological resources were identified. Longitudinal studies suggested that SE, SOC, spirituality and purpose in life were potential determinants of adjustment outcomes in the long term. Conclusion: Research on psychological resources in SCI is broad, but fragmented. Associations of psychological resources with mental health and well-being were frequently shown, while associations with participation were rarely studied. Further development of resource-based interventions to strengthen persons with SCI is indicated. This review can serve as guide for clinical practice and can add to the design of future SCI research.

“…Although psychological ownership has not previously been associated with POB, we believe it can be conceptualized as a positive psychological resource (see Fredrickson, 2001;Hobfoll, 2002). Like other psychological resources, psychological ownership can be measured, invested in, developed, and managed for performance impact and competitive advantage.…”

Psychological ownership: theoretical extensions, measurement and relation to work outcomes

et al. 2009

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Viewing psychological ownership as a positive resource for impacting human performance in organizations, the present study investigated the components of an expanded view of psychological ownership. Confirmatory factor analyses on a proposed measure of psychological ownership provided support for a positively-oriented, ''promotion-focused'' aspect of psychological ownership comprised of four dimensions: self-efficacy, accountability, sense of belongingness, and self-identity. In addition, territoriality was examined as a unique and more ''prevention-focused'' form of ownership. Practical implications and suggestions for future research on psychological ownership and positive organizational behavior conclude the article.
