The Development and Resulting Performance Impact of Positive Psychological Capital. (2010, methodology): “Thus, supporting previous research (Luthans, Avolio et al., 2007), findings from both the pilot and main study samples in this study provide support that the four positive constructs represent an underlying latent core positive psychological factor (PsyCap).”
Authentic and transformational leadership and innovative work behaviour: the moderating role of psychological empowerment (2020, background): “Namely, transformational leadership does not implicitly discuss the positive psychological capital and the follower and leader relational transparency (Luthans et al., 2007) as the notable differences between conceptualized elements of authentic versus transformational leadership.”
