Minimal Research

Occupational health researchers have begun to realize that the psychological well-being of healthcare workers who are providing treatment against COVID-19 is deteriorating. However, there is minimal research conducted on it, particularly in the context of leadership. The current study aims to fill this important gap by identifying critical factors that can enhance the psychological well-being of healthcare workers. We proposed that safety specific transformational leadership enhances psychological well-being among healthcare workers, and COVID-19 perceived risk mediates this relationship. Furthermore, the safety conscientiousness of healthcare workers was proposed to be a boundary condition that enhances the negative relationship between safety-specific transformational leadership and COVID-19 perceived risk. Data were collected from healthcare workers (N = 232) treating COVID-19 patients in the hospitals of Pakistan through well-established adopted questionnaires. The discriminant and convergent validity of the data was tested through confirmatory factor analysis by using AMOS statistical package. The mediation and moderation hypotheses were tested by using PROCESS Macro by Hayes. The results showed that safety specific transformational leadership enhances psychological well-being among healthcare workers, and COVID-19 perceived risk mediates this relationship. Moderation results also confirmed that safety conscientiousness moderates the relationship between safety specific transformational leadership and COVID-19 perceived risk. This study offers implications for both researchers and practitioners.

The Relationship

Guided by an ecological perspective, the authors examined event, individual, structural/cultural, and family/community factors that shaped the psychological well-being of older adults displaced from New Orleans by Hurricane Katrina. The authors first established the negative effects of displacement on psychological well-being by comparing displaced older adults with permanent Baton Rouge residents. Displaced older persons’ psychological well-being was positively related to their age and physical health. Older displaced women coped with displacement better than men. Avoidant coping was negatively related to the older adults’ well-being, whereas spiritual coping showed no effect. The functioning of older persons’ family was positively related to their psychological well-being, whereas dependence on people outside immediate family showed a negative relationship. Income, education, and race were largely unrelated to psychological well-being. Findings provide implications for future studies regarding the relationship between disaster and psychological well-being and provide practitioners with suggestions for work with older adults displaced by disasters.

This paper aims to investigate the psychological well-being in relation to group socio-cognitive factors at work. Data was collected on a sample of 133 participants that were employed and had a manager at the time of filling in the scales. The results support the mediation role of trust between transformational and organizational identification. Organizational identification totally mediated the relationship between transformational leadership and psychological well being and its subscales: purpose in life, positive relationships with others, environmental control. The relationship between transformational leadership and self acceptance, personal growth and positive relations with other was mediated by the trust in coworkers.

The Relationship

The psychological burden of the COVID-19 pandemic may have a lasting effect on emotional well-being of healthcare workers. Medical personnel working at the time of the pandemic may experience elevated occupational stress due to the uncontrollability of the virus, high perceived risk of infection, poor understanding of the novel virus transmission routes and unavailability of effective antiviral agents. This study used path analysis to analyze the relationship between stress and alexithymia, emotional processing and negative/positive affect in healthcare workers. The sample included 167 nurses, 65 physicians and 53 paramedics. Sixty-two (21.75 %) respondents worked in COVID-19-designated hospitals. Respondents were administered the Toronto Alexithymia Scale-20, Cohen’s Perceived Stress Scale, Emotional Processing Scale, and the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule. The model showed excellent fit indices (χ2 (2)=2.642, p=0.267; CFI=0.999, RMSEA=0.034, SRMR=0.015). Multiple group path analysis demonstrated physicians differed from nurses and paramedics at the model level (X2diff (7)=14.155, p<0.05 and X2diff (7)=18.642, p<0.01, respectively). The relationship between alexithymia and emotional processing was stronger in nurses than in physicians (difference in beta=0.27; p<0.05). Individual path χ2 tests also revealed significantly different paths across these groups. The results of the study may be used to develop evidence-based intervention programs promoting healthcare workers’ mental health and well-being.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to extend the under-researched work on employees’ organizational commitment by examining transformational leadership (TL) adopted by the leader and the level of trust subordinates have in such a leader. Design/methodology/approach Data were collected using convenience sampling and self-administered survey methods from professionals employed in Indian public sector banks (n=236). Findings Findings reveal that the subordinates’ level of trust and psychological well-being partially mediates the relationship between TL and employees’ organizational commitment. Practical implications TL shares a positive relationship with organizational commitment through trust and psychological well-being. Originality/value Even though previous studies on organizational commitment have produced a significant piece of work, this study is among the first to propose and analyze a comprehensive and theoretically grounded structure of TL, organizational commitment, level of trust and employees’ psychological well-being.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan perfeksionisme dengan kesejahteraan psikologis pada siswa akselerasi di SMAN 1 dan 7 Banjarmasin. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah metode penelitian kuantitatif, dengan menggunakan teknik sampling jenuh dalam pengambilan sampel. Subjek penelitian adalah siswa akselerasi di SMAN 1 dan SMAN 7 Banjarmasin sebanyak 35 orang. Instrumen yang digunakan adalah Skala Perfeksionisme dan Skala Kesejahteraan Psikologis. Berdasarkan hasil analisis korelasi Pearson Product Moment diketahui r = 0, 587, yang berarti bahwa ada hubungan positif yang signifikan antara perfeksionisme dengan kesejahteraan psikologis pada siswa akselerasi di SMAN 1 dan 7 Banjarmasin. Sumbangan efektif perfeksionisme terhadap kesejahteraan psikologis pada siswa akselerasi sebesar 34,5%, sedangkan 65,5% dipengaruhi oleh faktor lain di luar perfeksionisme. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, dapat disimpulkan bahwa semakin tinggi perfeksionisme maka akan semakin baik kesejahteraan psikologis pada siswa akselerasi, sehingga hasil penelitian ini kurang sesuai dengan asumsi awal penelitian yang mengajukan bahwa kemungkinan terdapat hubungan negatif antara perfeksionisme dengan kesejahteraan psikologis pada siswa akselerasi di SMAN 1 dan 7 Banjarmasin. Kata Kunci: Perfeksionisme, Kesejahteraan Psikologis, Siswa Akselerasi The objective of this study was to find out the relationship between perfectionism and psychological well-being of accelerated students at SMAN 1 and 7 Banjarmasin. The study used a quantitative research method, using saturation sampling techniques. The subjects were 35 accelerated students of SMAN 1 and 7 Banjarmasin while the instruments were Perfectionism Scale and Psychological Wellbeing Scale. The results of Pearson Product Moment Correlation analysis showed that r = 0.587, which indicated that there was a significant positive relationship between perfectionism and psychological well-being of accelerated student at SMAN 1 and 7 Banjarmasin. The effective contribution of perfectionism to the accelerated students' psychological well being was 34.5 %, while 65.5 % was influenced by other factors other than perfectionism. Based on the results, it can be concluded that the higher the perfectionism, the better the psychological well-being of the accelerated students; therefore, the results were less consistent with the initial assumption suggesting that there might be a negative relationship between perfectionism and psychological well-being of the accelerated students at SMAN 1 and 7 Banjarmasin. Keywords: Perfectionism, Psychological Well-being, Accelerated Student

<p>The aim of this research was to develop a scale in order to measure psychological well-being in preschool children. Three hundred and seventy five to six year old children participated in the research from 5 regions of Tehran, using accidental sampling method. The participants were individually interviewed with the Well-Being in Preschool Children Scale, and their teachers completed Rutter’s Child Behavior Questionnaire about each of them. Data was analyzed with both exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis methods using WLSMV and GEOMIN oblique rotation, to examine factorial structure. <em>Samejima’s</em> graded response model was used to access psychometric features of the items. Test-retest reliability was measured and Pearson’s correlation was also used to assess divergent and convergent validity. Findings revealed that this scale has 3 main factors: self-concept, life satisfaction and resilience. The validity and reliability of the scale is also satisfactory. The well-being indicators in this scale are consistent with previous research on components of well-being in children. In addition there is a negative correlation between psychological well-being and behavioral problems, which is also illustrated in previous research. </p>

New Situation

This study was conducted with the assumption that there would be a significant and negative relationship between Coronavirus Anxiety (CVA) and Psychological Well-Being (PWB). However, the findings did not meet our assumption because one of the components of PWB named “purposefulness-in-life” had a strong and positive correlation with CVA, meaning that those participants with a strong goal orientation would experience higher level of CVA. To our knowledge, this finding could be considerable in the new situation of COVID-19 pandemic. In the following analysis, the moderation effects of age and gender on the relationship between CVA and purposefulness-in-life were found significant.
