Psychologial Capital as a Predictor of Employees’ well-being in selected broadcasting Organizations in Southwestern Nigeria.

Abstract

The study assessed the extent to which psychological capital predicted the well-being of employees of selected broadcasting organizations in Southwestern Nigeria. It also examined the predictability of the individual constructs that make up psychological capital on the well-being employees of the selected organizations enjoy from their work and workplaces. Participants were 412 employees (males = 52.2%, HND/BSc = 65.3%, federal-owned = 43%) in the eleven selected broadcasting organizations participated in the study. Participants completed measures of psychological capital and well-being.
Regression analyses indicated that psychological capital significantly predicted
employees’ well-being. The results of the study psychological capital (F(4,406) = .549; P<.05) significantly predicted employees’ wellbeing. The study also found out that hope, resilience and optimism significantly independently predicted employees’ well-being while self-efficacy did not significantly independently predict employees’ well-being. The study suggests that the development of inner psychological resources referred to as psychological capital can help people work easier, smarter, better, and safer with little or
no consequences for their health and well-being.
