Sustainable emotional lightness in the workplace: Correlates between positive psychological capital at work and perception of general health in post-social isolation workers in Brazil
Abstract
The present research aims to evaluate the relationship between positive psychological capital at work and the general health of workers in public and private organizations post-social isolation in the city of Natal-RN. This is field research, descriptive and correlational. 205 workers participated and responded to a questionnaire with sociodemographic and work characteristics, a scale of positive psychological capital at work and a general health questionnaire. The following results were observed: there was a significant relationship between positive psychology capital (in its total score) and its respective dimensions (Optimism, Resilience, Self-efficacy and Hope) and general health, as well as with the dimensions of depression and social dysfunction . In the Anova test, it was observed that the higher the positive psychological capital score, the higher the general health score. It is highlighted, based on these findings, that psychological capital acts as an important psychological construct in the general health of workers, thus denoting the need for psychological development at work as a protective factor in maintaining the professional's mental health.
