THE THEORETICAL- EMPIRICAL FIT BETWEEN THREE PSYCHOLOGICAL WELLNESS CONSTRUCTS
Alternative Title
Abstract
The aim of this research was to investigate the theoretical-empirical fit
between three psychological well-being constructs, namely sense of
coherence, learned resourcefulness and self-actualisation in the work
situation. Significant intercorrelations were found. Confirmatory factor
analysis indicated a two-factor structure consisting of (1) self-actualisation
and (2) sense of coherence / learned resourcefulness. The results confirm
that, of these three concepts, self-actualisation forms a separate construct
within the psychological well-being (and salutogenic) paradigms, but the
results did not indicate a good fit between the theoretical model and the
empirical reality of psychological well-ness. It is hoped that awareness of
this information will facilitate more effective labour relations and handling
of disputes in organisations.
