Although much research has been conducted on the association between poverty and happiness, little is known about its mediators and moderators. Thus, our understanding of how – and the conditions under which -- poverty affects happiness is imprecise. This study assessed stress as a mediator of the negative association between poverty and happiness using a sample of 345 farmers and fish farmers living in Ghana. Further, Psychological Capital (PsyCap, consisting of hope, optimism, resilience, and self-confidence) was examined as a two-stage moderator of the poverty-happiness relationship, as mediated by stress. There was no support for the stage 1 moderation, and while there was support for stage 2 moderation, it was in a direction opposite from what was hypothesized (for overall PsyCap and PsyCapF2). The negative moderation at stage 2 suggests that PsyCap (overall and PsyCap2) is associated with a weakening of an unexpected positive association between stress and happiness. PsyCapF2, appears to reflect agency or general self-efficacy. Although the hypothesized model was not supported this study has provided insights into how future research of Ghanaians might be better designed. It also has shown that the positive PsyCap-happiness relationship found in several Western samples is replicable among Ghanaian farmers, a collectivist and highly religious community. / Thesis / Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

Thesis (Ph.D. Agriculture. (Agricultural Economics)) -- University of Limpopo, 2022 / Many researchers in different parts of the world have advocated the use of irrigation water to reduce levels of poverty, especially among rural households. This is made possible through the development of irrigation schemes in these areas and giving the necessary support to these farmers. If this is done sufficiently, irrigation schemes` participants are sure to realise improved livelihoods and poverty reduction. However, different communities are faced with different challenges and are subjected to rules and norms applied in their respective communities. On one hand, farmers are individuals who also have personal beliefs and characteristics that may be critical in determining the success of their irrigation schemes. On the other hand, certain characteristics (e.g., unequal distribution of water and land) can be inherited as challenges by farmers in such communities, making it difficult to overcome and thus posing threats to the success of irrigation schemes. A purposive-multistage technique together with a simple random sampling were used to sample 300 smallholder farmers from the Vhembe and Sekhukhune districts of Limpopo Province. An analysis of data was done using a combination of analytic techniques such as the Binomial Logit, Principal Component Analysis, Multiple Regression Analysis, Poverty Indices and the Women Empowerment Agriculture Index. The latter was employed to examine whether or not there are efforts by the irrigation schemes to empower women. The main aim was to analyse the contribution and impact that irrigations schemes have on poverty reduction among smallholder farmers. There was also a need to consider the role that positive psychological capital may play in uplifting the hope, confidence, resilience and optimism by farmers in their irrigation schemes. The results revealed that women’s participation was high (58%) in the irrigation schemes as compared to men. However, this did not mean that women were empowered automatically. After administering the Women Empowerment Agriculture Index, it was found that women are actually disempowered in three (out of five) indicators that were used as a measure of empowerment. Meanwhile, most farmers who used irrigation, saw their livelihoods improve and their poverty status improve too. Irrigation was able to increase their yields, incomes, employment, and other household assets. It was again proven that positive psychological capital played a significant role in reducing poverty. However, factors such as lack of capital assets, social grants, illiteracy, old age, lack of vocational training and risk aversion in some instances contributed to poverty. In order to enhance the livelihoods of smallholder farmers, the government and other relevant bodies should see to it that agricultural extension services are improved and include vocational training for these farmers together with the provision of market information and business training. This may help farmers realise the importance of farming as a business and not relying on government for everything they need. A larger share of income for most farmers came from social grants and remittances. This is likely to have a negative impact on the success of irrigation schemes. Therefore, farmers need to be trained for self-reliance. The need to promote women’s participation in decision-making for water management and also suggests ways in which women’s access to water can be improved through equitable development cannot be overemphasised. There is also a need to conduct a study on the measurement and role of psychological capital in rural livelihoods using other methods such as revealed preference approach, experimental economics and behavioural economics.

The performance of state-owned enterprises in Namibia has been in the spotlight for many years, resulting in the Government of the Republic of Namibia to introduce interventions and strategies to address and improve this performance. The poor performance of state-owned enterprises has been studied in terms of financial aspects with less attention, however, on human resources as a key success factor in contributing to performance. Studying performance in terms of the human resources is an important area for research and intervention. The Government introduced several measures to ensure the efficient governance and monitoring of state-owned enterprises and to ensure that they are performing to the satisfaction and expectations of the stakeholder. These measures included the introduction of the State-Owned Enterprises Act (Act 2 of 2006) of Namibia, as well as governance structures to ensure that the performance of state-owned enterprises is properly maximised. Despite these efforts by the Government to regulate state-owned enterprises with the intention to improve performance, to date the poor performance of state-owned enterprises is still a topical issue in Namibia. Almost a decade after the promulgation of the State-Owned Enterprises Act, in 2006, the government is still financially bailing out a number of the state-owned enterprises. State-owned enterprises need to take a positive approach that recognise and leverage human resources for contribution to sustainable growth, competitive advantage and performance. Positively oriented high-performance work practices are conceptualised within the context of positive organisational behaviour. Positive organisational behaviour as characterised in the form of psychological capital, with antecedents such as authentic leadership and supportive organisational climate and employee outcomes such as job satisfaction, intention to leave, engagement in the Namibian state-owned enterprises context are the main focus of this study. The study aimed to assess the relationship between psychological capital, authentic leadership, supportive organisational climate, job satisfaction, intention to leave, employee engagement and performance for employees in state-owned enterprises in Namibia. A cross-sectional survey design was used to gather data regarding all these constructs as experienced by employees. A convenience sample (N = 452) of employees from 20 state-owned enterprises participated in the study. The measuring instruments used were the Psychological Capital Questionnaire, Performance-related Attitudinal Questionnaire, Job Satisfaction Scale, Turnover Intention Scale, Engagement Scale, Authentic Leadership Questionnaire, Supportive Organisational Climate Questionnaire and a biographical questionnaire. The results of study 1 showed that authentic leadership was positively associated with psychological capital (i.e. experiences of hope, optimism, self-efficacy and resilience) and job satisfaction. Authentic leadership affected job satisfaction indirectly via psychological capital. Psychological capital had a medium to large indirect effect on employees’ intentions to leave. The findings suggest that authentic leadership and psychological capital explain job satisfaction and retention of employees in state-owned enterprises. Study 2 showed that authentic leadership and psychological capital predicted employee engagement. A supportive organisational climate was related to employee engagement on individual level, but only if authentic leadership and psychological capital were not included in the model. Psychological capital mediated the relation between authentic leadership and employee engagement on an individual level in state owned enterprises. The results of study 3 showed that authentic leadership and a supportive organisational climate had a positive impact on psychological capital. Psychological capital predicted job performance on an individual level. Psychological capital was not associated with organisational performance. Recommendations for interventions to promote psychological capital, its antecedents and outcomes were made.

A presente tese investigou em que medida a percepção de liderança autêntica, de líderes e liderados, promove o capital psicológico e o engajamento no trabalho dos mesmos. Analisou-se ainda a influência da estrutura organizacional nas variáveis estudadas. Cinco estudos foram conduzidos. Primeiro, fez-se uma revisão da literatura sobre a produção internacional de liderança autêntica entre os anos de 2011 a 2015. Essa análise identificou importantes avanços sobre a temática. No entanto, os críticos desta teoria ainda apresentam pontos a serem respondidos. Os estudos de validação e da invariância da medida do Authentic Leadership Questionnaire para o Brasil, confirmam a adequação do instrumento. Os últimos dois estudos apontam que o capital psicológico prediz mais o engajamento no trabalho dos profissionais, em relação a liderança autêntica. Ainda constatam, estruturas organizacionais cooperativas e empreendedoras tem os profissionais mais engajados, em comparação as estruturas individualistas e controladoras. / This thesis investigated to what extent the perception of authentic leadership, by leaders and followers, promotes their psychological capital and work engagement. The influence of organizational structure on the variables studied was also analyzed. Five studies were carried out. Firstly, a review was made of the literature on the international production on authentic leadership between 2011 and 2015. That analysis identified important advances in the subject. However, critics of this theory still present points to be addressed. Studies regarding validation and the invariance of the Authentic Leadership Questionnaire for Brazil confirm the suitability of the instrument. The last two studies indicate that psychological capital is a better predictor of employees’ work engagement than authentic leadership. It also emerges that cooperative and entrepreneurial organizational structures have more engaged employees than more individualistic and controlling operational structures.

Philosophiae Doctor - PhD / Modern day leaders are faced with a complex globalised environment that has resulted in intense competition, ever-changing government rules and regulations, stakeholder demands, environmental policies and much more. In order to not only survive but thrive, they need to lead and motivate a diversified group of employees with different economic, cultural, and socio-political values. Today’s leaders need to develop effective managerial strategies, learn to inspire those both inside and outside of the organisation, and guide change. This study aimed to provide insight into change-oriented leadership and examine its effect on psychological capital (PsyCap) and psychological empowerment as antecedents of work engagement and change-oriented organisational citizenship behaviour (changed-oriented OCB). For purposes of this study, a quantitative research design was employed using both paper and pencil and electronic questionnaires. Data was gathered by using a probability sample of employees within a manufacturing organisation in South Africa (N = 736). The measurement instruments were revalidated for the South African sample through both confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM). All the measuring instruments retained its original factor structures and reported acceptable reliabilities of change-oriented leadership (α= .908), PsyCap (α= .848), psychological empowerment (α= .860), work engagement (α= .883) and changed-oriented OCB (α= .897).

The healthcare professional is challenged to meet the management of issues for which it was not developed in his academic educational process. Whereas emotionally intelligent people and at the same time carrying positive psychological states that integrate psychological capital,have a psychic structure that enables them to achieve leadership positions,this study aimed to interpret and discuss the correlations between emotional intelligence,psychological capital and perception organizational support. Study participants were 123 managers with academic health degree and experience in the health industrie. Data collection was conducted through self-administered electronic questionnaire and data were analyzed using descriptive and bivariate analysis through SPSS software in its version 19.0 . It was evident that these professionals possess in greater evidence of self awareness the ability of emotional intelligence, on the other hand have limitations on the availability and the establishment of personal relationships (sociability) as relevant in the management process.Already dimensions related to psychological capital , focused on job performance , demonstrated that this professional is confident in its ability to contribute to company goals and to overcome possible obstacles inherent in their work activities. Added to your psychological capital to support the perception that the organization can offer you support when you need to feel good and perform their tasks. / O setor de saúde é fortemente impactado por diversos fatores e é considerado um dos mais importantes ramos da economia brasileira.O profissional da área é desafiado a responder pela gestão de temas para os quais não foi desenvolvido em seu processo educacional acadêmico. Considerando que pessoas emocionalmente inteligentes e ao mesmo tempo portadores de estados psicológicos positivos, que integram o capital psicológico, possuem uma estrutura psíquica que lhes possibilite atingir posições de liderança, este estudo objetivou interpretar e discutir as correlações entre inteligência emocional, capital psicológico, e percepção do suporte organizacional. Participaram do estudo 123 gestores com formação acadêmica em saúde e experiência em organizacões do segmento saúde. A coleta de dados foi realizada através de questionário eletrônico auto aplicável e os dados foram submetidos a análise descritiva e bivariada através do software SPSS em sua versão 19.0. Evidenciou-se que estes profissionais possuem em maior evidência a habilidade da inteligência emocional de autoconciencia, por outro lado apresentam limitações na disponibilidade e no estabelecimento das relações pessoais (sociabilidade) tão relevantes no processo de gestão. Já as dimensões relativas a capital psicológico, voltadas para o desempenho no trabalho, demonstraram que este profissional é confiante na sua capacidade de contribuição com os objetivos da empresa, bem como de superar os possíveis obstáculos inerentes a sua atividade laboral. Soma-se a seu capital psicológico a percepção de suporte que a organização possa lhe oferecer, quando necessitar de apoio para sentir-se bem e realizar suas tarefas.

Desse modo, dentre tantos outros temas, o planejamento que cada profissional faz acerca de sua saída da organização, denominado intenção de rotatividade, tornou-se novamente um fenômeno de interesse no campo do comportamento organizacional. Atualmente, a alternativa mais aplicada aos estudos do comportamento organizacional tem sido a elaboração de modelos para representar o escopo de uma investigação científica. O objetivo geral deste estudo foi testar um modelo teórico para intenção de rotatividade, analisando-se sua relação com três dimensões de bem-estar no trabalho (satisfação no trabalho, envolvimento com o trabalho e comprometimento organizacional afetivo), moderada por capital psicológico, conceito composto por quatro capacidades psicológicas (eficácia, otimismo, esperança e resiliência). Para análise do modelo foram testadas quatro hipóteses relativas às interações das variáveis nele contidas. Participaram do estudo 85 professores, escolhidos por conveniência, que atuavam em uma universidade na Região do ABCD Paulista. A idade média dos participantes era de 45 anos (DP=11,49), sendo a maioria do sexo masculino, casada, com mestrado concluído e tempo de trabalho variando de 1 a 5 anos. Foi utilizado um questionário de auto preenchimento contendo cinco medidas brasileiras validadas e precisas, as quais aferiram as variáveis do modelo teórico. Os resultados descritivos indicaram que os docentes detêm um quadro de bem-estar no trabalho composto por satisfações maiores com colegas, chefias e tarefas e menores com salários e promoções; desse quadro fazem parte também índices medianos de envolvimento com o trabalho e medianos de compromisso afetivo com a universidade em que atuavam. Entretanto, observou-se que, apesar dos índices medianos das dimensões de bem-estar no trabalho, foi revelada baixa intenção de rotatividade por parte dos docentes. O capital psicológico observado entre os docentes situa-se alto. Análises de correlação pelo r de Pearson informaram índices negativos e significativos entre as três dimensões de bem-estar no trabalho e intenção de rotatividade. Capital psicológico também se mostrou negativa e significativamente correlacionado à intenção de rotatividade. Tais resultados informam que o plano de deixar a universidade onde atuam é inversamente proporcional ao bem-estar vivenciado no trabalho e ao nível de capital psicológico retido pelos docentes. Parece que docentes com elevado capital psicológico e que se sentem bem no trabalho planejam menos deixar a universidade onde atuam, sendo possível interpretar como plausível o inverso. Análises de regressão linear múltipla hierárquica, executadas pelo método enter, informaram que capital psicológico atua como moderador na relação entre bem-estar no trabalho e intenção de rotatividade: foram observadas aumento na predição de intenção de rotatividade quando se adicionou capital psicológico a dois modelos compostos, respectivamente, por satisfação no trabalho e envolvimento com o trabalho. Portanto, o alto nível de capital psicológico poderia potencializar o impacto de satisfação no trabalho e envolvimento com o trabalho sobre a intenção de rotatividade. Por outro lado, no modelo integrado por comprometimento organizacional afetivo o qual revelou maior força de predição sobre intenção de rotatividade, capital psicológico conseguiu reduzir levemente o impacto. Parece que docentes com alto nível de capital psicológico agem sob menos influência do seu compromisso afetivo com a organização quando fazem planos de sair da universidade empregadora. Portanto, os resultados deste trabalho permitem reconhecer que o estado positivo e saudável representado por bem-estar no trabalho poderia ter seu impacto sobre intenção de rotatividade moderado levemente por capital psicológico. Além disso, os resultados descritivos foram discutidos, comparando-os com outros estudos empíricos com professores. Por fim, foi proposta uma pauta para investigações futuras e sugerido criar uma nova linha de pesquisa no Brasil na investigação do papel moderador do conceito integral de capital psicológico nas relações entre constructos do campo do comportamento organizacional, baseada nas lacunas da literatura nacional apontadas nesse estudo.
