Psychological capital, contextual performance, and social support at work in primary health

Abstract

This study analyzed the relationship between psychological capital and contextual performance, proposing a model of moderation that includes social support at work. The sample consisted of 128 primary health care workers (82% women, M = 42.8 years). The results support partially the relationship between the psychological capital and contextual performance variables, with differences in the results according to the measure of performance; however, linear regression analysis confirms that psychological capital and resilience predict contextual performance. The evidence found does not support the relationship between contextual performance and social support at work, and this last variable does not act as a moderating variable in the proposed model for the relationship between psychological capital and contextual performance.
