강점 활용이 지각된 성과와 삶의 만족에 미치는 영향: 조화열정, 긍정정서, 집중의 매개효과를 중심으로

Over the last decade positive organization and positive psychological capital in a company have attracted increasing attentions and interest. In this background many researches suggest strengths use and development can foster individual performance and well being at work. However to date there is little empirical evidence tying strengths to individual or organization level performance benefits. The research aims at exploring the mediating effects of having harmonious passion, positive feelings and concentration in the relation between using strengths and individual perceived performance and life satisfaction. This study was conducted on a sample of 460 employees and structural equation modelling analyses were performed to test the proposed model. Th results show that increases in the use of strengths were to related to increase in harmonious passion, positive feelings and concentration, which in turn led to higher levels of perceived performance. Further enhanced harmonious passion and positive feelings both led to higher perceived performance and levels of life satisfaction, however enhanced concentration was not related to higher levels of life satisfaction and only led to perceived performance. Hence the research reveals that increase the strengths use at work helps to increase employees’ performance as well as life satisfaction.
