The Psychological Capital of Chinese Workers: Exploring the Relationship with Performance
Open accessAbstract
Everyone knows about China's huge population and the fast-growing economy. Although macro-level sociological and economic analyses have given some attention to the linkage between the two, at the micro level, the relationship between human resources and, more specifically, psychological capital of Chinese workers and their performance has been largely ignored. Within the context of three factories (two private and one state-owned) in the People's Republic of China, this exploratory study examined the relationship of a sample (n= 422) of Chinese workers’ positive psychological capital states and their performance. Results indicated the workers’ positive states of hope, optimism, and resiliency, separately and when the three were combined into a core construct of psychological capital, significantly correlated with their performance, as rated by their supervisors. An analysis of workers in one of the factories (n= 272) also found a significant relationship between the workers’ positive psychological capital and the performance outcome of relative merit-based salary. Limitations, future research, and practical implications conclude the article.

“…capital goes beyond the now widely recognized human capital (i.e. what you know, see O’Leary, Lindholm, Whitford, and Freeman, 2002) and social capital (i.e., who you know, see Adler and Kwon, 2002), and is basically ‘who you are’ (Luthans, Luthans, and Luthans, 2004; Luthans and Avolio, 2003).”

“Work in clinical and positive psychology (e.g. Block and Kremen, 1996; Coutu, 2002; Masten, 2001) suggests that highly resilient individuals tend to be more effective in a variety of life experiences, including adjustment and development under a variety of life-course threatening conditions.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
