“…Several studies cited earlier, as well as other research investigating both academic and career success (e.g., Barrick & Mount, 1991; Cooper & Tang, 2010; De Vos, De Clippeleer, & Dewilde, 2009; Fragoulis & Phillips, 2011; Kim et al., 2010; Raskind, Goldberg, Higgins, & Herman, 1999; Thompson, 2005; Todd, Harris, Harris, & Wheeler, 2009), have identified a wide variety of habits and skills that contribute to such success. These habits include but are not limited to being well-organized, persistent, punctual, proactive, empathetic, adaptable, articulate, curious, and reliable.…”

“…The current study, by combining elements of both college student success research and college student GPA research, investigates whether college students' success, as measured by GPA in their major courses, is linked to lifestyle habits those students share with the faculty members who teach those courses. For the purposes of this research, lifestyle habits were defined as patterns of behavior that contribute to academic success (Cooper & Tang, 2010; Fragoulis & Phillips, 2011; Kim, Newton, Downey, & Benton, 2010). If shared faculty–student lifestyle habits are related to GPA, another goal of faculty–student contact might be to develop in students the critical habits they lack, thereby helping students improve their GPAs and, as a concomitant result, their retention and persistence to graduation.…”

Previous research confirms that first-semester grade-point average (GPA) is related to college student persistence, retention, and graduation. Thus, it is important to identify factors related to enhancing first-semester GPA. In this study, researchers asked faculty and students in the disciplines of journalism, strategic communication or public relations, mass media production and design, motion picture or film, and mass media in general, to rate themselves on success-related lifestyle habits. Students were grouped according to five GPA categories, and each GPA group's survey responses were compared with faculty survey responses and with every other GPA group's responses. Statistical analyses identified five highly differentiating lifestyle habits that separated both faculty and the highest GPA group from all other GPA groups. Because these five habits related so closely to higher-level GPAs, one major implication of the findings is that institutions could improve retention by encouraging freshmen to develop these five critical lifestyle habits.

The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of academic research on professional success, using the bibliometric analysis to understand the evolution of this field between the years 1990 and 2020. The information was obtained from the publications indexed in the Scopus database, under a rigorous bibliometric process that comprises five parts: (i) criteria search of the field, (ii) selection of database and documents, (iii) inclusion and selection criteria, (iv) software and data selection, and (v) analysis and results. The results show professional success as a scientific discipline in full exponential growth, which allows us to consider the main contributions of authors, institutions, and international contributions, as well as to consider the main themes that have shaped the intellectual structure of the subject through their visualization using bibliometric maps of co-citation and co-occurrence, which combined showed eight main lines of research. The results obtained allowed us to identify patterns of convergence and divergence in various topics, which allows obtaining current and diverse information on the state of the research field’s art.

“…A área da Psicologia Organizacional e do Trabalho (POT), por sua vez, destaca-se como um campo de investigação dos mais profícuos no que se refere a esse tema. Nesta perspectiva, as Habilidades Sociais (HS) apresentam-se como um tópico de estudo passível de diálogo com a POT, já que, esse conceito vem sendo utilizado em organizações (MORENO-JIMÉNEZ et al, 2014;VELOSO-BESIO et al, 2015;SEKIGUCHI;HOSOMI, 2017;YUN et al, 2017), mesmo se tratando de uma aplicação tradicionalmente feita na área da Psicologia Clínica e Escolar (VERA et al, 2017;POULOU, 2017;MORRIS;MCGUIRE;WALKER, 2017;TUCKER, 2017 ESCRIBANO, 1999;INOCENTE;GUIMARÃES, 2004;BOLSONI-SILVA et al, 2006;BANDEIRA et al, 2009;FISHER;MORIN, 2017;MORRIS;MCGUIRE;WALKER, 2017;PEREIRA-LIMA;LOUREIRO, 2017;LAUGEN et al, 2017) e para o desenvolvimento de lideranças de equipes de alto desempenho (FAGOULIS;PHILLIPS, 2011;HURRELL;SCHOLARIOSPUKK, 2014;CUADRA-PERALTA et al, 2017). Desta feita seriam importantes investigações que trouxessem mudanças positivas para a realidade no contexto do trabalho e do trabalhador.…”

Resumo: Este artigo investiga a utilização do conceito de Habilidades Sociais (HS) no contexto da Psicologia Organizacional e do Trabalho (POT). Inicialmente, foram pontuados aspectos históricos do mundo do trabalho e da POT como campo de estudo e, a partir disso, discute-se o conceito de HS. A questão de pesquisa é: qual o estado da discussão da aplicação de HS para a POT? A pesquisa se justifica, pois o trabalho como um fator constitutivo do homem, fomentou pesquisas e discussões no tempo que marcam a relevância das HS para o trabalhador; a POT, por sua vez, se destaca como um campo de investigação dos mais profícuos da área. Nesta perspectiva, as HS se apresentam como um tópico de estudo passível de diálogo com a POT, pois, esse conceito está sendo utilizado, mesmo se tratando de uma aplicação tradicionalmente feita na psicologia clínica e escolar. O objetivo da pesquisa é investigar a aplicação do conceito de HS para a POT. Utilizou-se de uma análise documental de natureza exploratória que tem quadro de referência na compreensão. Percebeu-se que, a aproximação das HS com a POT pode se consolidar como prática no trabalho. No entanto, requer esclarecimentos, devido ao percurso teórico do conceito de HS e pela facilidade com que os profissionais utilizam o treinamento de habilidades sociais na área organizacional. A POT tem seus desafios e também é diversa/abrangente, portanto, deve-se atentar ao fato de um novo conceito que possa somar a estes desafios. Palavras-chave:Habilidades Sociais.

Social Skills in the Context of Organizational and Work PsychologyAbstract: This article investigates the use of the concept of Social Skills (SS) in the context of Organizational Psychology and Work (OPW). Initially, historical aspects of the world of work and OPW were analyzed as a field of study and, from this, the concept of HS is discussed. The question of research is: what is the state of the discussion of the application of HS to OPW? The research is justified, since work as a constitutive factor of man, fomented researches and discussions in the time that mark the relevance of SS for the worker; the OPW, in turn,
