Resumo: The concept of psychological capital (PsyCap) has been a great focus of interest and curiosity from academics and practitioners. The principal purpose of the present research is to study the relevance of PsyCap and its influence in employees’ attitudes, behaviors and performance. This investigation also aims to understand the importance of an authentic leader (leaders with power to influence their followers and to develop their capabilities) and the impact that the leader’s PsyCap may have on their followers’ dimensions (performance, motivation, work-engagement and job-satisfaction). Data was collected from both Linkedin and from a small company operating in the transportation sector, through a customized survey. The results support the literature showing that: (a) the individual psychological capital has an influence on individuals’ perceptions of performance, motivation, work-engagement and job-satisfaction; (b) the leaders’ PsyCap and the goodwill between the leader and followers may cause some positive impacts on followers’ perceptions of performance, motivation, work-engagement and job-satisfaction; and (c) the leaders’ psychological capital may affect the followers’ level of PsyCap.

O presente estudo tem como principal objetivo analisar a relevância do PsyCap e a sua respectiva influência nas atitudes, comportamentos e performance dos trabalhadores. Esta investigação tem também interesse em compreender a importância de um líder autêntico (líder com poder para influenciar os seus colaboradores e desenvolvendo as suas capacidades), bem como o impacto que o capital psicológico do líder poderá ter nas principais componentes dos seus colaboradores (performance, motivação, work-engagement e satisfação com o trabalho). Os dados foram recolhidos numa pequena empresa que opera no setor dos transportes e no site Linkedin através de um questionário comum a ambas as amostras. Os resultados encontrados no presente estudo académico coincidem com o que tem sido apresentado na literatura, concluindo assim que: (a) o capital psicológico individual influencia as perceções dos indivíduos relativas à sua performance, motivação, work-engagement e satisfação com o trabalho; (b) o capital psicológico dos líderes e a boa relação estabelecida com os seus colaboradores poderá causar impactes positivos nas perceções dos colaboradores relativas à sua performance, motivação, work-engagement e satisfação com o trabalho; e (c) o capital psicológico dos líderes poderá afetar o nível de PsyCap apresentado pelos seus colaboradores.Oliveira, Maria Teresa Vieira deVeritati - Repositório Institucional da Universidade Católica PortuguesaBarbosa, Ana Isabel Veloso2017-03-15T14:24:13Z2017-02-1520172017-02-15T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.14/21807TID:201667193enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-07-12T17:27:56Zoai:repositorio.ucp.pt:10400.14/21807Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T18:18:08.347417Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
