João Viseu, Saul Neves Jesus, Claudia Rus, Helga Nunes, Pedro Lobo, Inês Cara-Linda

Resumo


O conceito de capital psicológico positivo é recente, enfatizando capacidades e características importantes dos colaboradores, para a vida organizacional e social. O PCQ-12 foi formulado para avaliar esta variável, integrando quatro dimensões: (a) autoeficácia; (b) otimismo; (c) esperança; e (d) resiliência. A investigação que agora apresentamos constitui o primeiro estudo de adaptação do PCQ-12 em Portugal, sendo, ainda, estudada a fiabilidade deste instrumento e comparados os resultados agora obtidos, com os de estudos realizados noutros países. Com uma amostra de 165 profissionais do domínio da saúde, foi avaliada a estrutura fatorial deste instrumento. Os resultados sugerem a identidade das quatro dimensões que integram o instrumento.
