The positive psychology of mentoring: A longitudinal analysis of psychological capital development and performance in a formal mentoring program

Abstract: Although there is substantial support for the relationship between mentoring and work performance, empirical research has yet to fully explore the plausible positive psychological explanatory mechanisms of this relationship. This four‐year study examines the effects of mentoring on protégés' psychological capital (PsyCap; a higher‐order psychological resource that includes hope, efficacy, resilience, and optimism) and performance outcomes (formal performance appraisals) over time, in the context of an existing… Show more

“…Based on this fact, we need to closely understand the specific relationship between organizational capital and OCB. Psychological capital is about human strengths such as hope, efficacy, resilience, and optimism that link with employees' attitudes, behaviors, and performance ( Carter and Youssef-Morgan, 2019 ; Luthans, 2002 ; Luthans et al., 2007 ; Norman et al., 2010 ). Thus, it is important to look at its specific relationship with the behavioral aspect of OCB.…”

“…Understanding the factors that influence the success of mentoring relationships continues to be timely and important area for HRD research. While the majority of mentoring research in the field of HRD has examined formal mentoring programs within a corporate context (Carter & Youssef-Morgan, 2019;Deptula & Williams, 2017;Thurston, D'Abate, & Eddy, 2012), our study examines mentoring within an understudied population within HRD scholarship: faculty involved in a formal mentoring program affiliated with a professional association. In addition to our sample, our study offers a unique contribution to the mentoring literature by identifying how mentoring schemas may guide experiences of the factors that challenge and cultivate mutuality within diverse formal mentoring relationships between faculty.…”

“…Las principales implicaciones prácticas que podrían derivarse de estos hallazgos se vinculan, en primer lugar, a la necesidad de propiciar ambientes laborales que contribuyan al florecimiento del capital psicológico y la pasión armoniosa. En este sentido, la evidencia muestra consistentemente el CapPsi y la pasión constituyen estados desarrollables y susceptible al cambio (Omar et al, 2014;Carter y Youssef-Morgan, 2019;Vallerand, 2015). A su vez, del presente estudio se desprende que el CapPsi es un importante predictor de la pasión; y que, al mismo tiempo, contar con empleados con alto CapPsi y pasión por su trabajo, allana el camino a la innovación.…”

“…Constituye un estado psicológico positivo caracterizado por tener confianza (autoeficacia) para asumir y llevar a cabo con éxito una tarea desafiante; hacer una atribución positiva (optimismo) sobre el resultado de la misma; perseverar en la búsqueda de los objetivos (esperanza); y fortalecerse en la adversidad (resiliencia) para alcanzar el éxito (Luthans y Youssef-Morgan, 2017). Se concibe como un estado abierto al cambio, que aun teniendo cierta estabilidad en el tiempo es susceptible de desarrollo mediante intervenciones de corta duración, destinadas a influir en cada una de sus dimensiones así como en el constructo nuclear (Carter y Youssef-Morgan, 2019).…”
