Abstract

Background Employees are the real capital of any organisation, and to keep the employees productive and functional, employers need to focus on the psychological capital and social relationship of the employees to keep them engaged in their work. This study examined the emerging field of constructs of psychological and social capital to examine Indian employee’s behaviour. Purpose The purpose of this study is to examine a comprehensive model of the relationship between employees’ psychological capital and work engagement. Furthermore, it examines the moderating effect of social relationships between them. Methods This is a primary survey conducted mainly on the manufacturing industry. A sample of 375 mid- and senior-level executives of different age groups was considered in the study from India’s public and private manufacturing sectors administering a questionnaire survey. A random sampling technique was used for data collection. This study applied SPSS and Amos software to validate the measurement model. Results The results indicate a significant correlation among PsyCap, work engagement, and social relationships. PsyCap and social relationships are positively connected to work engagement. Thus, these results provide preliminary support for our hypotheses. The finding suggests that psychological capital and social relationships positively influence work engagement, and social relationships moderate the association between positive psychological capital and work engagement. It helps employees get better engaged at work. Conclusion Organisations must develop psychological capital to provide resources to employees and share a supportive relationship. Developing and maintaining a supportive relationship for employees and employers is important. In the future, both qualitative research methods and longitudinal data from other sectors can be used to understand the interplay between social and psychological capital for enhancing work engagement. Developing and cultivating positive social relations can help employees utilise their psychological strength to better engage in work.
心理资本与工作投入:社会关系的调节作用
员工是任何组织的真正资本,为了保持员工的生产力和功能,雇主需要关注员工的心理资本和社会关系,以保持他们对工作的投入。本研究考察了心理和社会资本结构的新兴领域,以考察印度员工的行为。本研究的目的是检验员工心理资本与工作投入关系的综合模型。此外,本文还考察了二者之间社会关系的调节作用。方法以制造业为主要对象进行初步调查。在这项研究中,来自印度公共和私营制造业的375名不同年龄段的中高层管理人员进行了问卷调查。数据收集采用随机抽样技术。本研究采用SPSS和Amos软件对测量模型进行验证。结果心理cap、工作投入和社会关系之间存在显著相关。心理cap和社会关系与工作投入呈正相关。因此,这些结果为我们的假设提供了初步的支持。研究结果表明,心理资本和社会关系正向影响工作投入,社会关系调节积极心理资本与工作投入的关系。它可以帮助员工更好地投入工作。组织必须发展心理资本,为员工提供资源,分享支持关系。发展和维护员工和雇主之间的支持关系是很重要的。在未来,定性研究方法和其他部门的纵向数据都可以用来理解社会资本和心理资本之间的相互作用,以提高工作投入。发展和培养积极的社会关系可以帮助员工利用自己的心理力量更好地投入到工作中。
