Hope: A New Positive Strength for Human Resource Development (2002, background): “In presenting POB, Luthans (2002a, 2002c) posited that self-efficacy has the most theoretical and research support.”
The mediating role of psychological capital in the supportive organizational climate—employee performance relationship (2008, background): “To avoid the criticism of false optimism, POB tends to emphasize realistic optimism (Luthans, 2002b; Luthans et al., 2007; Schneider, 2001).”
Employee resilience and leadership styles: The moderating role of proactive personality and optimism. (2016, background): “Though a behavioural, contextualised approach to individual resilience has been advocated in review papers (e.g., Fletcher & Sarkar, 2013, Robertson et al., 2015), empirical research to date has largely measured resilience as a trait or a coping mechanism (Luthans & Church, 2002).”
Strengths use and deficit correction in organizations: development and validation of a questionnaire (2016, background): “Our findings do however put into perspective the dominant focus on ‘gaps’ as the ideal starting point for performance improvement (Aguinis, Gottfredson, & Joo, 2012; Luthans, 2002).”
Subjective well-being at work: Disentangling source effects of stress and support on enthusiasm, contentment, and meaningfulness (2014, background): “The increasing recognition and popularity of positive psychology (Sheldon & King, 2001) has led organizational researchers to investigate employee happiness and other positive emotions (e.g., Luthans, 2002).”
‘I’m busy (and competitive)!’ Antecedents of knowledge sharing under pressure (2014, background): “Although there is no direct evidence of such a relation, there is some evidence that task self-efficacy has a positive influence on individuals’ perceptions of their environment (e.g., Luthans, 2002a,b).”
`That is my job' (2007, result): “In general, this emphasis on aspects of individuals that can be developed to enhance their performance is consistent with the ‘positive organizational behaviour’ (POB) movement, in which a key focus is on positive state-like aspects that are malleable and can be enhanced (Luthans, 2002).”
Antecedents of academic performance of university students: academic engagement and psychological capital resources (2019, background): “Finally, resilience is defined as “the capacity to rebound or bounce back from adversity, conflict, failure or even positive events, progress and increased responsibility” (Luthans, 2002b, p.702).”
Diversity Training: Analysis of the Impact of Self-Efficacy (2007, background): “…addressed self-efficacy in the diversity domain, research supporting the application of self-efficacy generally in the workplace (Bandura, 2000; Luthans, 2002a, 2002b; Stajkovic & Luthans, 1998b), in specific task performance domains (Eden & Zuk, 1995; Gist, Stevens, & Bavetta, 1991; Schwoerer…”
Searching for resilience: the impact of employee-level and entrepreneur-level resilience on firm performance in small family firms (2020, positive): “Following this logic, it has been proposed that more managerial attention should be paid towards nurturing optimism, hope and resilience among a firm’s employees (Coutu 2002; Luthans 2002a).”
The Interactive Effects of Psychological Capital and Organizational Identity on Employee Organizational Citizenship and Deviance Behaviors (2010, background): “Research in POB and PsyCap has historically been aimed at examining the relationship between POB and PsyCap with positively oriented organizational outcomes such as job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and performance (Luthans, Avolio, et al., 2007; Luthans, Norman, et al., 2008).”
