The interaction effect of psychological capital on the relationship between self-driven personality and happiness at work in the present and post-COVID-19 era
Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to examine how psychological capital (PsyCap) and self-driven personality fuse to affect happiness at work in the nursing profession in Uganda. Design/methodology/approach: This paper adopts a cross-sectional descriptive and analytical design. The authors use structural equation modelling to test hypotheses. Using proportionate and simple random sampling procedures, a sample of 900 respondents was drawn from different hospitals in Uganda of which a response rate of 88.9% was obtained. Findings: The magnitude effect of self-driven personality on happiness at work depends on PsyCap, implying that the assumption of non-additivity is met. Research limitations/implications: Only a single research methodological approach was used, and future research through interviews could be undertaken to triangulate. Practical implications: To boost happiness at the workplace, heads of hospitals should always endeavour to find a viable self-driven personality and PsyCap blend that can add value to nurses’ happiness in Uganda. Social implications: It is essential for health human resource managers to understand, how self-driven personality and PsyCap foster happiness among nurses in Uganda. Originality/value: This is one of the few studies that focus on testing the interactive effects of PsyCap on the relationship between self-driven personality and happiness at the workplace in Uganda’s health sector.
