The Impact of Psychological Capital on Job Involvement, Subjective Well-being, and Silence Behavior: Interaction Effect and Effect Comparison

Abstract

Abstract: Organizational effectiveness depends on the individual and organizational factors. In this paper, we explored the impact of employee′s psychological capital on job involvement, subjective well-being, and silence behavior. By regression analysing on a sample of 263 employees, we found that both task-orientated psychological capital(self-confidence and brave, optimism and hope, self-expectation and diligence, resiliency and perseverance) and interpersonal-orientated psychological capital(toleration and forgiveness, respecting and courtesy, modesty and prudence, thanksgiving and dedication) have positive effects on job involvement and subjective well-being, and negative effect on silence behavior. However, interpersonal-oriented psychological capital′s negative effect on silence behavior becomes insignificant when task-psychological capital was added into the regression model, which proves the value of task-psychological capital on silence behavior. Additionally, these was an interaction between task-orientated psychological capital and interpersonal-oriented psychological capital on job involvement and subjective well-being.

Key words: psychological capital, job involvement, subjective well-being, silence behavior.

摘要： 组织效能是个体因素与组织因素共同作用的结果。针对以往研究比较重视组织因素对员工工作投入、主观幸福感与沉默行为的影响,该研究引入个体心理资本的新视角剖析其成因。通过对263个样本的回归分析发现,事务型心理资本（自信勇敢、乐观希望、奋发进取与坚韧顽强）和人际型心理资本（包容宽恕、谦虚诚稳、尊敬礼让与感恩奉献）对工作投入、主观幸福感有积极作用,对沉默行为有抑制作用。但在加入事务型心理资本后,人际型心理资本对沉默行为的负向作用变得不显著,凸显了事务型心理资本对沉默行为的相对价值。此外,事务型心理资本、人际型心理资本对工作投入与主观幸福感存在正向的交互效应。
