1460 Words6 Pages

The importance of positive emotions in workplace have been a debatable subject that is still under many evaluations and experiments under the term psychological capital which is a constructive body consists of efficacy, hope, optimism and resilience. Researchers are working to expand the contributions of psychology to go beyond mental illness and personality disorders in order to develop both the quality and efficiency of organizational work field. In a previous study of Avey, Luthans and Youssef (2009), they suggested the positive relationship between positive Psychological Capital (PsyCap) and Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB). Employees with higher positive emotions showed more desirable OCB such as altruism, courtesy, sportsmanship, conscientiousness and civic virtue. Previous studies also explored ways to elevate PsyCap through brief work interventions, however, this research proposal is aiming to investigate the relationship between positive PsyCap and desirable OCB in organizations and workplace. Literature Review Positive psychological capital according to Luthans F., C.M. & Youssef (2004), is defined as the positive and developmental state of an individual as characterized by four areas; confidence (or self efficacy), optimism, hope and resilience. There are two main areas of focus whereby PsyCap emphasizes on; Positive Organizational Scholarship and Positive Organizational Behavior.

    The Era of Not So Good Feelings Many historians label the period after the War of 1812 as the “Era of Good Feelings” but it certainly did not seem that way towards many others. This so called “Era of Good Feelings” dealt with the extension of slavery and the differing views on that subject between the North and the South, the American System that helped the United States industrialize and expand but led the country from nationalism to new sectionalism views; thus causing tensions to rise. Slavery had been protracted since the 1600s and with the extension of slavery and many differing views from both the Northerners and Southerners, it became a huge issue. Northerners opposed the extension of slavery because of the 3/5 Compromise which provided unfair representation to slave states compared to the northern states.
