“…In this regard, CCMA in the context of refugees might profit from extending the portfolio of adaptability resources to include self-regulatory resources that have been found to be valuable in other domains of psychosocial adaptation. For example, psychological capital has been shown to be related to emotional regulation ( Tosten & Toprak, 2017 ) and coping ( Rabenu, Yaniv, & Elizur, 2016 ), two mechanisms that are especially important to achieving well-being. Among refugees, who are not only preparing for job search but also adapting in other life domains, these additional self-regulatory resources might be important for becoming and remaining confident about their job search.…”

The goal of the current study was to investigate the relationships among psychological resources, career barriers, and job search self-efficacy in a sample of post-2014 Syrian refugees. Participants included 330 refugees in Greece and the Netherlands. Data were obtained using paper-based surveys, with all measures translated into Arabic. Drawing from career construction theory (Savickas, 2005), we hypothesized that adaptive readiness, operationalized in terms of psychological capital, would be positively related to job search self-efficacy through career adaptability. In addition, social and administrative career barriers were hypothesized to moderate the first stage of the indirect effect between psychological capital and job search self-efficacy, such that this relationship is weaker when refugees experience higher career barriers. Results indicated that individuals with higher psychological capital more confidently engaged in job search behavior in the destination country, mostly due to their enhanced career adaptability. However, this relationship weakened when participants experienced higher social barriers and strengthened when they experienced higher administrative barriers. The findings provide further support for the career construction model of adaptation (Savickas & Porfeli, 2012) and pinpoint career adapt-ability resources as critical self-regulatory strengths that help individuals in this particularly vulnerable group adapt to occupational transitions. Moreover, the results highlight the potentially detrimental role of social barriers in this process. Based on the results, we offer implications for formulating training and career construction theory-based career counseling focused on enhancing career adaptability and psychological capital.

“…Moreover, empirical research (e.g., Connor‐Smith & Compas, ; Jose & Huntsinger, ; Rabenu, Yaniv, & Elizur, ) has shown the important role coping plays in managing stress and promoting well‐being. Berry () has noted the mediating role of coping strategies on the relationship between acculturation and acculturative stress.…”

At a large midwestern university, 210 Asian international students responded to measures of acculturative stress, attachment (father, mother, and professor), and college adjustment. Multiple regression analysis revealed that secure professor attachment was critical for academic integration, academic performance, and possibly social integration. Acculturative stress had a negative impact on academic and social integration, but did not predict academic performance. Mother attachment promoted academic integration in cases of high acculturative stress, but father attachment had the opposite effect. In light of these findings, student affairs staff and counselors should consider the creation of faculty programs for the mentoring of Asian international students.

“…In the organizational context, PsyCap has been shown to be positively related to job satisfaction, job engagement, well-being, mental health and employee performance and negatively related to stress, turnover intentions, substance abuse and counterproductive workplace behaviors (Avey, Reichard, Luthans, & Mhatre, 2011;Aybas & Acar, 2017;Krasikova, Lester, & Harms, 2015;Rabenu, Yaniv, & Elizur, 2016). For a review, (see Newman, Ucbasaran, Zhu, & Hirst, 2014) 1.2 Coping with Stress and psychological capital (PsyCap) Three kinds of personal variables are especially important in shaping stress appraisals (and hence coping): goals, beliefs about the self and the world, and finally the individual's personal resources can be tapped in interactions with the environment (Lazarus, 1999).…”

Introduction: the choice of strategies to cope with stress has differential effects on individual and organizational outcomes (e.g. well-being and performance at work). This study examined to what extent individuals differing in their positive psychological resources (optimism, hope, self-efficacy and resilience) implement different strategies to cope with stress in terms of change, acceptance, or withdrawal from a source of stress in an organizational setting. Method: A questionnaire was filled out by 554 employees from different organizations representing a wide range of jobs and positions. Results: Structural Equation Modeling (SEM; χ 2 (7) = 27.64, p < .01, GFI = .99, NFI = .91, CFI = .93, RMSEA = .07) Conclusion: the results indicated that psychological resources (optimism, hope, self-efficacy and resilience) were positively related to coping by change and by acceptance and negatively related to withdrawal. The theoretical implications are discussed. Resumen Introducción: la elección de estrategias de afrontamiento al estrés, tiene efectos diferenciales en los resultados individuales y organizacionales (por ejemplo, el bienestar y el rendimiento en el trabajo). En este estudio se examinó hasta qué punto las personas que difieren en sus recursos psicológicos positivos (optimismo, esperanza, autoeficacia y resiliencia) implementan diferentes estrategias para hacer frente al estrés en términos de cambio, aceptación o retirada de una fuente de estrés en un entorno organizacional Método: 554 empleados de diferentes organizaciones que representan una amplia gama de puestos de trabajo y puestos respondieron un cuestionario. Resultados: modelado de ecuaciones estructurales (SEM; χ 2 (7) = 27.64, p < .01, GFI = .99, NFI = .91, CFI = .93, RMSEA = .07) Conclusión: Los resultados indicaron que los recursos psicológicos (optimismo, esperanza, autoeficacia y resiliencia) estaban relacionados positivamente con el afrontamiento por el cambio y por la aceptación, y negativamente relacionados con la retirada. Las implicaciones teóricas son discutidas.
