“…These measures focus on the presence or absence of relatively stable belief systems or personal qualities anticipated to predict training engagement and self-reflection quality, and not anticipated to change because of the training. The measures were: self-efficacy (Lindberg, Wincent, & Örtqvist, 2013), dispositional hope (Snyder, 1995), and optimism (Scheier, Carver, & Bridges, 1994). Such measures will be analyzed as part of an analysis of secondary outcomes reflecting distinct research questions.…”

“…Thus, trials of different programs using a coping skills development framework demonstrate inconsistent capacity to elicit changes in wellbeing indices. Moreover, the effects of training on mental health outcomes can be inconsistent even among trials of the same program (e.g., Liossis, Shochet, Millear, & Biggs, 2009;Millear et al, 2008). An additional challenge of resilience training has been achieving sustained effects over time.…”

“…Concerning the leader's role definition, job autonomy has been identified as a strong, positive correlate in two studies (Ng et al, 2008;Paglis and Green, 2002), indicating that the authority to make decisions regarding work flow, procedures and resource allocation is important for feeling confident as a leader. As well, research suggests leaders' perceived role ambiguity may negatively affect LSE (Lindberg et al, 2013).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper, on self-efficacy and leadership, has two objectives. First, it comprehensively reviews approximately 25 years of research on leadership self-efficacy (LSE), beginning with LSE measurement and related criticisms. Findings concerning LSE’s relationships with leader effectiveness criteria, as well as individual and contextual influences on LSE, are presented. Second, it examines the evidence on efficacy enhancement interventions and offers some preliminary recommendations for increasing LSE through leadership development programs. Design/methodology/approach The author conducted a comprehensive literature review of the existing research on LSE, covering the main contributors to this research stream and their findings. Findings The review revealed substantial diversity in LSE construct development and measurement approaches. Regarding LSE and leader effectiveness, many studies reported positive relationships with potential, performance and behavioral ratings of leaders. Collective (team) efficacy has emerged as a significant mediator between LSE and group performance. Influences on LSE include several of the Big Five personality traits, while contextual antecedents are under-researched, and potentially fruitful areas for further study. Executive coaching and mentoring, as well as cognitive modeling techniques and training in constructive thought patterns, received support for enhancing LSE in developing leaders. Originality/value This paper’s review and implications should be of substantial value to current and future LSE researchers, as it summarizes past research, synthesizes the findings to draw out common themes and consistent, corroborated findings, and identifies opportunities for future research. For practitioners, the reviewed research on interventions for increasing LSE through leadership development programs provides practical guidance.

“…The measure consisted of four items (e.g., ‘I am convinced that I can handle the demands in my life’) that were assessed on a 7‐point scale anchored by 1 strongly disagree and 7 strongly agree . Scores on the scale have demonstrated good levels of internal consistency evidence (α = .82) in past research (Lindberg, Wincent, & Örtqvist, ). Internal reliability evidence was excellent in the present study (α = .95).…”

Profiles of adversity and resilience resources: A latent class analysis of two samples

Adversities refer to events that are characterized by perceived or actual threat to human functioning. Often considered deleterious for health and well‐being, recent work supports an alternative picture of the effects of adversity on human functioning, such that a moderate amount of adversity – when compared with none or high levels – can be beneficial. We extend this body of work in the current study by considering the breadth or type of adversities experienced simultaneously (referred to as polyadversity), with a focus on individual profiles of lifetime adversities. Latent class analysis was employed to explore different configurations of lifetime adversity experiences in two independent samples and examine how these latent classes differed with regard to resilience resources (i.e., optimism, hope, self‐efficacy, and bounce‐back ability). University students (N = 348) and members from the broader community (N = 1,506) completed measures of lifetime adversity exposure and resilience resources. Three polyadversity classes were revealed in each sample, with both producing a high and a low polyadversity class. The third class differed between samples; in the student sample, this class represented experiences of vicarious adversity, whereas in the community sample, it represented moderate levels of exposure to adversity. Support for the adaptive nature of a moderate amount of adversity exposure was found in the community sample but not in the student sample. This study produces initial evidence of how lifetime adversity experiences group together and how class membership is related to resilience resources.
