The impact of community resilience, well-being, and community attachment on human service workers’ burnout
Burnout has become an increasingly prevalent condition, especially affecting professionals in direct contact with clients. Human service workers (HSWs) have quite emotionally taxing jobs supporting vulnerable groups. In developing a close relationship with the communities they work with, it could be possible that community-related variables have an impact on HSWs’ burnout. We aim to analyze the prevalence of burnout in a sample of HSWs from Portu…
Well-Being and Dispositional Hope in a Sample of Portuguese Citizens
In our pursuit of a fulfilling and contented life, the study of well-being has emerged as a fundamental field of research. Higher levels of well-being are associated with better mental health outcomes. Individuals with better mental health might possess the personal resources necessary to set and pursue meaningful goals, maintain positive expectations, and overcome adversities. We aim to explore the positive relationship between well-being (hedon…
The value of hope
Responding to everyday problems and crises
Resilience is of the upmost importance to deal with everyday problems faced by communities. The concept of community resilience is gaining prominence in disaster management policy and practice, and it has been shown to be an important factor during pandemic recovery such as during the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak. We present an instrument for community resilience assessment adapted for disasters like the pandemics. The instrument was based on the theory-b…
The influence of organizational compassion on Job Crafting
This study aimed to analyse the relationship between the perception of compassion at work (consciousness, empathy, evaluation, response type) and compassionate “actions and organizational characteristics” on job crafting (increasing structural job resources, increasing social job resources, increasing challenging job demands, decreasing hindering job demands). The study collected quantitative data from 231 professionals from different economic se…
Selfless and strategic, interpersonal and institutional
We asked 32 professionals what organizational compassion is to them. Analysis of the responses revealed four conflicting, if not paradoxical, dimensions. With insight from Habermas’ theory of ‘communicative action’, we paired these dimensions as two lifeworld/system couples: (1) selfless compassion (lifeworld) and strategic compassion (system), as well as (2) interpersonal compassion (lifeworld) and institutional compassion (system). While the co…
Resposta Coletiva Compassiva
A capacidade coletiva compassiva tem claras implicações no desempenho e no bem-estar dos indivíduos no contexto organizacional (Lilius, Worline, Maitlis, Kanov, Dutton, & Frost, 2008). O presente estudo tem como objetivo descrever a forma como o efeito combinado de práticas e características de flexibilização de estrutura organizacional contribuem para o aumento de respostas coletivas compassivas em organizações com missão pró-social, quando comp…
Narrative Practices and Positive Aging
The main objective of this article is to address the impact of narrative practices in life celebration after the age of 80 and in the co-construction of a community-positive future. We share here an exploratory reflection about the narratives of a group of older women integrated in a community project. The Wednesday Tea Project (Chá das Quartas) has been ongoing for 4 years, and involves a group of old women experiencing high levels of loneliness…
Positive Nations and Communities
Felicitas Publica and community well-being
This article discusses the theoretical justifications, presumed relevance and value of using community interventions designed to be appreciative and strengths based, participatory and conversational, context sensitive and value driven, to promote well-being actions and coordinated meaning between privileged persons and those living in impoverished material and social conditions. It stresses the need for the field of positive psychology to incorpo…
Psicologia Comunitária Positiva
Os aspectos ontológicos, epistemológicos e metodológicos da psicologia comunitária tornam-na especialmente apropriada para se cruzar eficazmente com o novo paradigma da psicologia positiva. Este trabalho descreve e reflecte uma intervenção conducente a essa integração, realizada junto de populações no limiar da pobreza na Região Autónoma dos Açores. A par do prioritário apoio no domínio das condições materiais, para que a população caminhe para u…
Propostas estratégicas da Psicologia Positiva para a prevenção e regulação do stress
Aqui se efectua uma análise da relação entre alguns dos conceitos presentes nas literaturas sobre regulação de stress e Psicologia Positiva, nomeadamente, optimismo, bem-estar subjectivo, experiência óptima (flow) e esperança. Nesta literatura são também discriminados e perspectivados alguns conceitos relativos a uma segunda geração de investigadores localizados naquele referido domínio das publicações científicas da Psicologia, particularmente o…
