Book Description
"Academic Psychological Capital (Academic PsyCap) is a relatively new psychological construct that stems from industrial/organizational psychological research on Psychological Capital (PsyCap). PsyCap is a second order factor that encompasses one’s Hope, Self-Efficacy, Resilience, and Optimism. The current study utilized a non-experimental quantitative research design focused on Academic PsyCap among high school students. Participants included 59 tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grade students from a public high school in Southwest Florida who completed a Demographic Survey, the Academic Psychological Capital Questionnaire, and the Study Strategies scale from the School Motivation and Learning Strategies Inventory (SMALSI, 2014). March 2023 Grade Point Average (GPA) and each student’s 9th grade GPA was extracted directly from the district database. A Simultaneous Regression was conducted to examine the relationship between Academic PsyCap, Study Strategies, and Current GPA, with Parent Education and Previous Achievement included as statistical controls. The researcher also examined the correlation between Academic PsyCap and Study Strategies specifically. The first hypothesis was that Academic PsyCap and Current GPA would have a positive correlation to each other, while controlling for Parent Education and Previous Achievement. The second hypothesis was that Academic PsyCap and Study Strategies would have a positive correlation to each other. Results indicated that Current GPA was most strongly associated with Previous GPA, so much so that none of the other variables explained any significant amount of variance in the model. Results did support the second hypothesis that Academic PsyCap and Study Strategies are positively correlated to one another.."--Abstract

Book Description
Although there are as many answers to the question of how organizations can gain competitive advantage in today's global economy as there are books and experts, one lesson seems very clear: traditional answers and resources are no longer sufficient. This seminal book offers not only an answer regarding how to gain competitive advantage through people, but also a brand new, untapped human resource--psychological capital, or simply PsyCap. Generated from both the positive-psychology movement and the authors' pioneering work on positive organizational behavior, PsyCap is a rigorous concept: to be included in PsyCap, a given positive construct must be based on theory, research, and valid measurement, must be open to development, and must have measurable performance impact. The positive constructs that have been determined to best meet these PsyCap criteria--efficacy (confidence), hope, optimism, and resiliency--are covered in separate chapters in Psychological Capital and Beyond. Following an exploration of other potential positive constructs such as creativity, wisdom, well-being, flow, humor, gratitude, forgiveness, emotional intelligence, spirituality, authenticity, and courage, the authors summarize the research demonstrating the performance impact of PsyCap. They go on to provide the PsyCap Questionnaire (PCQ) as a measurement tool, and the PsyCap Intervention (PCI) as a development aid. Psychological Capital and Beyond provides theory, research, measurements, and methods of application for psychological capital, a resource that can be developed and sustained for competitive advantage. Each copy includes a complimentary PsyCap online self-assessment.

Although there are as many answers to the question of how organizations can gain competitive advantage in today's global economy as there are books and experts, one lesson seems very clear: traditional answers and resources are no longer sufficient. This seminal book offers not only an answer regarding how to gain competitive advantage through people, but also a brand new, untapped human resource--psychological capital, or simply PsyCap. Generated from both the positive psychology movement and the authors' pioneering work on positive organizational behavior, PsyCap goes beyond traditionally recognized human and social capital. But PsyCap is not a vague or unscientific concept: to be included in PsyCap, a given positive construct must be based on theory, research, and valid measurement, must be open to development, and must have measurable performance impact. The positive constructs that have been determined to best meet these PsyCap criteria, efficacy (confidence), hope, optimism, and resiliency, are covered in separate chapters in Psychological Capital. After exploring other potential positive constructs such as creativity, wisdom, well being, flow, humor, gratitude, forgiveness, emotional intelligence, spirituality, authenticity, and courage, the authors summarize the research demonstrating the performance impact of PsyCap. They go on to provide the PsyCap Questionnaire (PCQ) as a measurement tool, and the PsyCap Intervention (PCI) as a development aid. Utility analysis indicates that investing in the development of PsyCap as presented in this book can result in a very substantial return. In total, Psychological Capital provides theory, research, measurements, and methods of application for the new resource of psychological capital, a resource that can be developed and sustained for competitive advantage.

Book Description
Blended learning is firmly established in universities around the world, yet to date little attention has been paid to how students are enaging with this style of learning. Presenting a theoretically-based and empirically-validated model of engagement, this book examines the application of the model to improve the quality and productivity of university education. Covering the key qualities of blended learning, it analyses how online learning influences campus-based education, develops the student perspective of online learning, examines online learning systems as agents of change, provides insights and guidance for educational developers and administrators attempting to improve quality of learning, and considers how institutions can maximise educational returns from large investments in online learning technologies. Illustrated with case studies and developing ideas for practice, this book will be valuable reading for researchers and developers keen to improve their understanding of the emerging dynamics of contemporary student engagement with online learning.

WINNER OF AERA’S NARRATIVE & RESEARCH SPECIAL INTEREST GROUP 2003 BOOK AWARDWhat impact does a college education have on students' careers and personal lives after they graduate? Do they consider themselves well prepared for the demands and ambiguities of contemporary society? What can we learn from their stories to improve the college learning experience?This groundbreaking book extends Marcia Baxter Magolda’s renowned longitudinal study and follows her participants’ lives from their graduation to their early thirties. We follow these students’ journeys to an internally-authored sense of identity and how they make meaning of their lives. From this, the author proposes a new framework for higher education to better foster students' crucial journeys of transformation--through the shaping of curriculum and co-curriculum, advising, leadership opportunities, campus work settings, collaboration, diversity and community building.This is an important book for all faculty, administrators and student affairs professionals.

Book Description
Academic performance and persistence are critically important issues for both universities and their students. Colleges and universities have invested significant resources trying to improve student outcomes. Unfortunately, in spite of this investment, improvement of student outcomes remains elusive. One key issue is that academic outcomes are difficult to predict. While traditional factors (high school GPA and standardized tests) are considered the best existing predictors, they account for only a small percentage of the variation between high school and college. It is clear that new methods are needed to help in early identification of at-risk students. It has been suggested that the problems of academic performance and retention are similar to the issues of performance and retention within the organizational setting, and that organizational tools may have some benefit within the academic setting. This study evaluated the potential use of Psychological Capital (PsyCap), an organizational behavior instrument, as a potential tool for improving the prediction of student outcomes. This study utilized structural equation modeling to analyze primary data collected from the first-year class at a small, faith-based four-year institution (n=246). Results indicated significant positive relationships between PsyCap and student GPA performance (B=.185, p
