High stress levels are often attributed to a spectrum of causes, from natural and human-made crises to the rapid pace of technological advancements and societal shifts. The number of causes necessitates an examination of not just the cumulative effect of these event constellations, but also their complex interactions, which may amplify stress in ways that are not yet fully understood. These dynamics appear to be contributing to a worrying trend of increased mental illness, anxiety, and depression, notably among professionals on the front lines of these societal changes, like medical practitioners and first responders. For example, there were more fire fighters who committed suicide last year in the US versus those who lost their lives protecting others. Additionally, these professionals are directly exposed to the increasing cases of mental illness, anxiety, and depression among the public, an exposure that further amplifies their own stress levels. Some of the factors contributing to these high levels of stress include natural disasters and human-caused events, as well as some of the most transformative discoveries and innovations in human history. We begin this paper, by examining how a constellation of consequential events are shaping our global society’s well-being, e.g., the COVID 19 pandemic, AI innovation and Climate Change. Next, we examine evidence-based interventions that may offer potential avenues for addressing these high levels of stress. For instance, development interventions focused on authentic leadership that can enhance leader and follower’s psychological capital or PsyCap, resulting in lowering levels of stress, especially when operating in work roles that have higher level of daily stress. These positive forms of leadership help to address the numerous challenges that individudals, organizations and communities face today and well into the future. A clear emphasis in our work is also placed on examining how positive forms of leadership and organizational behavior, can impact two very different, but critically important outcomes, including the individual and collective mental health and well-being in organizations, communities and societies. Consequently, the overall goal here is to recognize the problems we face across a broad range of first responder professions, while offering specific solutions to address those problems.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48061,"journal":{"name":"Organizational Dynamics","volume":"53 4","pages":"Article 101088"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142721523","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Limited but promising insights suggest that PsyCap positively impacts new venture formation and growth, with entrepreneurs reporting lower stress levels and a greater likelihood of persevering. In this way, PsyCap can be a key ingredient for the long-term sustainability of new ventures, aiding founders in overcoming growth-related challenges. However, the specific role of PsyCap in enabling new ventures to persevere through their formative years remains a gap in the literature. This article addresses this gap by examining how PsyCap empowers founders and founding teams to navigate five key challenges in the startup years of a new venture: securing resources, developing capabilities, building teams, managing risk, and navigating disruptions. By elucidating how PsyCap components—efficacy, hope, resilience, and optimism—enable founders and teams to overcome these challenges, this article not only offers avenues for future research but also underscores the practical utility of PsyCap for entrepreneurial success.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48061,"journal":{"name":"Organizational Dynamics","volume":"53 4","pages":"Article 101083"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142721519","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We call this conceptual framework the Balanced Positive Human Capital Equation. With the ultimate goal of obtaining “The Good Life,” the first part of our simply called HumCap equation consists of Psychological Capital (i.e., PsyCap). The positive psychological resources which comprise one’s PsyCap have after 20 years of evidence been clearly determined to be <strong>H</strong>ope, <strong>E</strong>fficacy, <strong>R</strong>esilience, and <strong>O</strong>ptimism (i.e. “the HERO within”). The second part of our proposed HumCap equation includes Physical Capital (i.e., PhyCap). Some important dimensions of this PhyCap we suggest should include <strong>M</strong>indfulness, <strong>E</strong>xercise, <strong>N</strong>utrition, and <strong>D</strong>eep Breathing (i.e., “MEND your health”). The final pillar of this balanced approach to HumCap we propose includes Social Capital (SocCap). As established drivers of well-being and performance, we focus on the recognized important SocCap resources of <strong>F</strong>aith, <strong>R</strong>elationships/Networks, <strong>O</strong>rganizational Culture, <strong>N</strong>oncognitive Empathy, and <strong>T</strong>eams/Communities (i.e., provide “A united FRONT”).

It discusses the shift in focus from traditional problem-centric approaches in behavioral sciences to a balanced perspective that encompasses both strengths and deficits, as advocated by Seligman and Csikszentmihalyi. This shift has given rise to Positive Organizational Behavior (POB) and Positive Organizational Scholarship (POS), emphasizing human resource strengths and psychological capacities. The paper draws on the PERMA+4 framework, an extension of Seligman’s original model incorporating Physical Health, Mindset, Work Environment, and Economic Security alongside Positive Emotions, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, and Accomplishment to emphasize the unique role of Positive Mindset. It specifically describes promising research on work-related well-being and optimal work performance, evidence-based practices, and programs at the worker, supervisor/leader, group, and organizational level of analysis. Relatedly, this paper illustrates how one of the most empirically sound constructs within the positive psychology literature, Psychological Capital (PsyCap), can be used to cultivate the essential building block of Positive Mindset toward well-being practices, programs, and applications and more broadly, positive organizational psychology, behavior, and scholarship 2.0 research and applications at multiple levels of analysis.
