Na presente investigação pretende-se estudar a relação entre o PsyCap, capacidades
psicológicas positivas, e a Motivação, compreendendo o papel do efeito moderador da
experiência de escutismo.
Utilizou-se uma amostra de 234 participantes, sendo 42,7% do género masculino e
57,3% do género feminino, com idades compreendidas entre os 18 e os 72 anos de idade. No
que diz respeito à experiência de escutismo, 32,1% são atualmente escuteiros, 13,2% já
pertenceram ao escutismo e 54,7% dos participantes nunca fez parte do escutismo. De forma
a testar as variáveis em estudo, recorreu-se à escala Multidimensional de Motivação para o
Trabalho de Gagné et al., (2015) para a variável Motivação e a escala PsyCap adaptada e
traduzida por Machado, (2008) para a variável Capital Psicológico Positivo.
No que concerne aos resultados, apenas se verificaram relações significativas entre as
dimensões esperança e otimismo com as todas dimensões da motivação, no entanto, também
se verificou uma relação significativa entre o PsyCap e a motivação autónoma. Apenas se
observou um efeito moderador da experiência de escutismo entre a Esperança e a
Amotivação, e entre o Otimismo e a Motivação Autónoma.
Com a realização do presente estudo, pretende-se compreender se capacidades
psicológicas positivas contribuem para a motivação dos colaboradores em contexto laboral,
percebendo se a experiência no movimento escutista afeta esta mesma relação, contribuindo,
desta forma, para o reforço da literatura científica.
ABSTRACT: In this investigation, we intended to study the relationship between PsyCap, positive psychological abilities, and motivation, understanding the role of the moderating effect of the scouting experience. We used a sample of 234 participants, 42.7% male and 57.3% female, aged between 18 and 72 years old. With regard to their experience of scouting, 32.1% are currently scouts, 13.2% have belonged to scouts and 54.7% of the participants have never been part of scouts. In order to test the variables under study, we used the Multidimensional Motivation for Work scale by Gagné et al., (2015) for the Motivation variable and the PsyCap scale adapted and translated by Machado, (2008) for the Positive Psychological Capital variable. Regarding the results, there were only significant relationships between the dimensions of hope and optimism and with all dimensions of motivation, but there was also a significant relationship between positive psychological capital and autonomous motivation. Only a moderating effect of the scouting experience was observed between hope and amotivation and between optimism and autonomous motivation. The aim of this study is to understand whether positive psychological capacities contribute to the motivation of employees in a workplace, and whether experience in the scouting movement affects this relationship, thus contributing to the reinforcement of scientific literature.
