Department of Management: Faculty Publications

After providing the theoretical background and meaning of psychological capital in general and resiliency in particular, the authors present proactive and reactive human resource development (HRD) strategies for its development.

The article includes specific guidelines for HRD applications and an agenda for future needed research.
