The Progress of Current and Possible Sub-Dimensions of Positive Psychological Capital in the Literature: A Bibliometric Analysis

Öz

This study was conducted to evaluate the development level of positive psychological capital in the literature from the perspective of sub-dimensions. Luthans et al. (2007b) stated in their study that potential dimensions could be added in the future within the scope of cognitive (creativity and wisdom), affective (well-being, flow and humour), social (gratitude, forgiveness and emotional intelligence) and higher-order (spirituality, authenticity and courage) strengths to the sub-dimensions of positive psychological capital. Potential positive constructs, to be added to the most used self-efficacy, hope, optimism and resilience sub-dimensions of positive psychological capital, will develop and strengthen the concept. To meet Luthans et al. (2007b)'s expectation of expanding the sub-dimensions of positive psychological capital, a bibliometric analysis was conducted using the Web of Science database, including positive structures. As of March 18, 2023, 1904 studies on positive psychological capital, 302 of which were studied together with potential positive structures, were identified in the literature. A content analysis of 302 studies was conducted, and it was concluded that the sub-dimensions of positive psychological capital were expanded with positive structures in only 13 studies. Potential positive structures were added to sub-dimensions in 0,7% of 1904 studies on positive psychological capital. In this context, it is considered that, in the literature, the existing four-dimensional structure of positive psychological capital is mostly used, but Luthans et al. (2007b)'s expectations for potential sub-dimensions to be added in the future were not met. In the study, recommendations were made for future studies to develop and expand the structure of positive psychological capital.

Anahtar Kelimeler

Pozitif Psikolojik Sermayenin Mevcut ve Muhtemel Alt Boyutlarının Literatürdeki Seyri: Bibliyometrik Bir Analiz

Öz

Bu çalışma pozitif psikolojik sermayenin literatürdeki gelişim düzeyini alt boyutlar perspektifinden değerlendirmek maksadıyla yapılmıştır. Luthans, Youssef ve Avolio (2007b) çalışmalarında pozitif psikolojik sermayenin alt boyutlarına bilişsel (yaratıcılık ve bilgelik), duyuşsal (öznel iyi oluş, akış deneyimi, mizah anlayışı), sosyal (minnettarlık, bağışlayıcılık ve duygusal zekâ) ve üst düzey (maneviyat, otantiklik ve cesaret) özellikler kapsamında potansiyel boyutların gelecekte eklenebileceğini belirtmişlerdir. Pozitif psikolojik sermayenin hali hazırda en çok kullanılan öz yeterlilik, umut, iyimserlik ve dayanıklılık alt boyutlarına eklenecek potansiyel pozitif yapılar, kavramı geliştirecek ve güçlendirecektir. Luthans vd. ’nin (2007b) pozitif psikolojik sermayenin alt boyutlarının genişletilmesi beklentilerinin karşılanma durumunu tespit etmek maksadıyla Web of Science veri tabanı kullanılarak pozitif yapıları içeren bibliyometrik analiz yapılmıştır. 18 Mart 2023 tarihi itibariyle literatürde pozitif psikolojik sermayenin çalışıldığı 1904 çalışma tespit edilmiş olup bunlardan 302 çalışmada pozitif psikolojik sermaye potansiyel pozitif yapılarla birlikte çalışılmıştır. 302 çalışmaya yönelik yapılan içerik analizi sonucunda sadece 13 çalışmada pozitif psikolojik sermayenin alt boyutlarının pozitif yapılarla genişletildiği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Pozitif psikolojik sermaye ile ilgili yapılan 1904 çalışmanın % 0,7’sinde alt boyutlara potansiyel pozitif yapılar eklenmiştir. Bu kapsamda literatürde pozitif psikolojik sermayenin çoğunlukla mevcut dört boyutlu yapısının kullanıldığı ancak Luthans vd. ’nin (2007b) gelecekteki eklenecek potansiyel alt boyutlara yönelik beklentilerinin karşılanmadığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Çalışmada pozitif psikolojik sermayenin yapısının geliştirilmesi ve genişletilmesine yönelik gelecekte yapılacak çalışmalara tavsiyelerde bulunulmuştur.
