Job Stress and Incivility (2011, background): “For example, Bandura (2008) demonstrated that coping self-efficacy determines one’s ability to manage stress, and Totterdell, Wood, and Wall (2006) showed that individuals with higher levels of optimism exhibited lower levels of workplace stress.”
PSYCHOLOGICAL CAPITAL AND EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE: A LATENT GROWTH MODELING APPROACH (2011, background): “The state-like, dynamic nature of psychological capital was given attention in the above theoretical discussion in terms of agentic mechanisms (see Bandura, 2008) and resource theories such as COR (Wright & Hobfoll , 2004).”
Experimentally Analyzing the Impact of Leader Positivity on Follower Positivity and Performance (2011, background): “Yet, the underlying mechanism common to each can be found in what Bandura (2008) describes as positive agentic motivation or capacity toward individual performance and success.”
Relation of Depression and Affectivity to Career Decision Status and Self-Efficacy in College Students (2009, background): “Three decades of research on self-efficacy has provided a systematic network of meaning regarding self-efficacy (Bandura, 2008), especially regarding vocational behavior (Betz & Hackett, 2006).”
Impact of positive psychological capital on employee well-being over time. (2010, methodology): “Although positive psychology has established the relationship between positivity and health outcomes (e.g., see Bandura, 2008; Lyubomirsky et al., 2005) and Wright and colleagues have established the relationship between PWB and performance in the workplace (Cropanzano & Wright, 1999; Wright,…”
: Authentically leading groups: The mediating role of collective psychological capital and trust (2011, background): “Again, taking an agentic perspective (Bandura, 2006, 2008), there may be multiple ways in which collective psychological capital produces outcomes such as group citizenship behavior and group performance (Luthans, Youssef, et al., 2007; Stajkovic, 2006).”
Association of Pre-Service Teachers' Performance, Personality, and Beliefs with Teacher Self-Efficacy at Program Completion. (2012, background): “…Fujita, 1996; Watson & Clark, 1992), and since Bandura’s recent work suggests that self-efficacy can be enhanced by positive affect and reduced by negative affect (Bandura, 2008), neuroticism and extraversion might be important explanatory variables in a model of pre-service teacher self-efficacy.”

Psychological capital: A positive resource for combating employee stress and turnover (2009, background): “For example, Bandura (2007) asserts that our daily realities are fraught with difficulties (that is, stressors), and an optimistic, hopeful, and resilient sense of efficacy is needed for well-being.”
Effects of Psychological Capital on Mental Health and Substance Abuse (2015, background): “In addition, the negative effects of PsyCap components on stress are also discussed in theory and demonstrated in empirical studies (Bandura, 2008; Bartone, 2006; Chang, Rand, & Strunk, 2000; Snyder, 2000).”
The effect of authentic transformational leadership on follower and group ethics (2011, background): “Bandura's (1991) social cognitive theory provides further explanation for the effect of follower authentic moral action on the leader's moral component of ATL.”
