Abstract(s)
O presente estudo teve como propósito produzir evidências empíricas relativas à relação entre as dimensões do capital psicológico positivo (PsyCap) com as dimensões do desempenho percebido e qual o efeito moderador da experiência de escutismo assim como a duração no movimento escutista.
Baseadas na literatura já existente, as seguintes hipóteses foram levantadas: As dimensões do capital psicológico positivo influenciam positiva e significativamente as dimensões do desempenho (1), a experiência de escutismo modera a relação entre as dimensões do PsyCap e as dimensões do desempenho, pelo que, se espera que a relação de influência das dimensões do PsyCap nas do desempenho, seja mais forte nos participantes que experienciaram o escutismo (2) e o mesmo para a duração da experiência de escutismo (3).
Para tal, foi utilizada uma amostra de 570 trabalhadores portugueses dos quais 411 participantes foram, ou são, participantes do CNE, inquiridos por um questionário online que continha as escalas de medida das variáveis em estudo, nomeadamente, a escala de capital psicológico positivo e de desempenho percebido.
Os resultados obtidos demonstram que as dimensões de capital psicológico positivo se relacionam parcialmente com as de desempenho percebido. Os resultados demonstram, também, que a experiência de escutismo não modera esta relação, mas que, pelo contrário, a duração desta experiência modera parcialmente a relação entre as dimensões de capital psicológico positivo e as dimensões do desempenho percebido.
Esta investigação contribui, assim, para a investigação do campo do capital psicológico positivo e a sua relação com o desempenho percebido, em especial para a prática organizacional nomeadamente nos processos de atração, seleção, integração e desempenho individual dos colaboradores.
This study's goal was to produce empirical evidence on the relationship between the dimensions of positive psychological capital (PsyCap) and the dimensions of perceived performance, as well as what moderating effect the scouting experience - and its duration - may have on this relationship. Based on existing literature, the following hypotheses were extracted: The PsyCap dimensions significantly, and positively influence the performance dimensions (1), the scouting experience moderates the relationship between the PsyCap dimensions and the performance dimensions in a manner that magnifies the positive relationship between them (2) the scouting experience, and duration moderate the relationship between the PsyCap dimensions and the performance dimensions in a manner that magnifies the positive relationship between them (3). For this study, a sample of 570 Portuguese workers, of which 411 participants were, or are, participants of the CNE (Corpo Nacional de Escutas), were inquired by means of an online questionnaire, which included the measuring scales of the variables of interest to this study - namely the scales of PsyCap and perceived performance. The results showed that PsyCap dimensions are partially related to perceived performance dimensions, as well as that the scouting experience doesn't moderate this relationship. However, the results also showed that the duration of the scouting experience partially moderates the relationship between PsyCap and perceived performance dimensions. Therefore, this investigation contributes towards research in the field of PsyCap and its relationship with perceived performance, specifically the organizational practice of the processes of attraction, selection, integration and individual performance of collaborators.
