Capital psicológico positivo: A influência da esperança e do optimismo nas redes sociais
Advisor(s)
Abstract(s)
O objectivo deste estudo visa compreender se os indivíduos com um maior capital
psicológico positivo possuem maiores redes sociais, na medida em que indivíduos mais
optimistas e mais esperançosos ocupam posições centrais nas suas redes e possuem um
maior número de ligações fortes e ligações fracas. Os dados foram obtidos em várias
empresas do sector público e privado, tendo sido obtido um total de 113 questionários. Os
resultados das análises de regressão efectuadas apontam para modelos estatisticamente
significativos que suportam as hipóteses de que os indivíduos mais esperançosos ocupam
posições centrais e possuem um maior número de ligações fortes nas suas redes sociais, e
de que os indivíduos mais optimistas possuem um maior número de ligações fracas. São
discutidas algumas implicações sobre o impacto que estas capacidades psicológicas
positivas possam ter na estrutura, em termos da centralidade, e nas conexões, em termos
de ligações fortes e fracas, dos indivíduos nas suas redes sociais no local de trabalho.
The purpose of this study aims to understand if individuals with a more positive psychological capital have larger social networks, to the extent that individuals more optimistic and more hopeful occupy central positions in their networks and have the largest number of strong and weak ties. The data were obtained from several companies in the public and private sector, and a total of 113 questionnaires were obtained. The regression test results point to statistically significant models that support the hypothesis that individuals more hopeful occupy central positions and have a greater number of strong ties in their social networks, and that more optimistic individuals have a greater number of weak ties. Some implications of the impact that positive psychological capacities may have in the structure, in terms of centrality and in the connectivity, in terms of strong and weak ties, of individuals in their social networks in the workplace will be discussed.
