Abstract:
Psychological capital is a psychological capacity that can be measured, developed and harnessed for performance improvement. Over the past decade, a large number of studies have investigated the relationship between Psychological capital and employee attitudes, behavior and performance. However, in reviewing this literature there is an obvious silence as to the antecedents of Psychological capital. The article reviewed the basic theory of Psychological capital about concept, structural elements, measurement and the antecedents, and the antecedents and the mediating role of Psychological capital from demographics, individual differences, leadership styles and organizational environment. Further research should be dedicated to enhancing basic theory and antecedents of Psychological capital by theoretical and empirical research. Further research should use the method of combining cross-sectional and longitudinal analysis, combining qualitative and quantitative research, and diverse research methods like cognitive neuroscience. Systematic and integrated approaches as to the antecedent’s research are needed.
心理资本是一种能被测量,开发和提高绩效的积极的心理能力。大量的研究证明心理资本和员工态度、行为和绩效等有重要的关系。但是,对心理资本前因变量的研究相对缺乏。文章从概念、测量方面回顾了心理资本的基本理论,从人口统计学、个体差异、领导风格和组织环境方面回顾了心理资本的前因变量和心理资本的中介作用。未来应加强心理资本的基本理论和前因变量的理论和实证研究,采用横向和纵向结合,质性和量化结合以及认知神经科学等多元化研究方法,对心理资本前因变量的研究应考虑研究的系统性和整合性。
