Recent meta-analyses of positive organizational psychology interventions (POPIs) suggest that interventions that target and improve hope, efficacy, resilience, and optimism (HERO) can be highly effective at improving well-being and positive functioning at work. However, many studies to date have been conducted with samples from the US and other Western, educated, industrialized, rich, and democratic (WEIRD) societies, which raise the concern about the generalizability of theory-driven POPIs. The aim of this study was to examine if the underlying mechanism of one of the most successful POPIs to date, positive psychological capital (PsyCap) based on the HERO model, predicts positive functioning at work across diverse geographical regions and cultures. Using Qualtrics Panel data collected from 3860 employees across 15 nations (Australia, Brazil, China, France, Germany, Great Britain, India, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, New Zealand, Philippines, South Africa, and the United States), we found that PsyCap is strongly associated with workplace proactivity, proficiency, adaptivity, and overall work performance across all 15 nations. The results suggest that efforts to develop PsyCap may be effective across national cultures and could be a robust approach for enhancing positive functioning in the global workplace.
最近对积极组织心理学干预措施（POPIs）的荟萃分析表明，针对和提高希望、效能、韧性和乐观主义（HERO）的干预措施可以非常有效地提高工作中的幸福感和积极功能。然而，迄今为止，许多研究都是在美国和其他西方、受过教育、工业化、富裕和民主（WEIRD）社会的样本中进行的，这引起了人们对基于理论的 POPIs 的普遍性的关注。本研究旨在检验迄今为止最成功的 POPIs 之一——基于 HERO 模型的积极心理资本（PsyCap）的潜在机制是否可以预测不同地理区域和文化中的工作积极功能。我们使用来自 15 个国家（澳大利亚、巴西、中国、法国、德国、英国、印度、爱尔兰、意大利、日本、荷兰、新西兰、菲律宾、南非和美国）的 3860 名员工的 Qualtrics 小组数据发现， PsyCap 与所有 15 个国家的工作场所主动性、熟练程度、适应性和整体工作绩效密切相关。研究结果表明，培养 PsyCap 的努力可能在各国文化中都很有效，并且可能是增强全球工作场所积极功能的一种有效方法。
