Development of psychological capital in emergency service organisations

该项目致力于“促进所有澳大利亚人的健康和福祉”以及“保护澳大利亚”的研究重点。该项目将确定可以提高紧急服务组织志愿者和受薪成员的表现和幸福感的方法，潜在地降低抑郁、攻击性和其他有害影响的可能性。这些发现还将有助于提高为应急服务领导人提供的培训质量。从理论上讲，该项目将促进对心理资本构成的机制的理解，将澳大利亚的研究人员置于这一重要的新兴研究领域的前沿。

The project addresses the research priorities ‘Promoting good health and well being for all Australians’ and Safeguarding Australia. The project will identify ways in which the performance and wellbeing of volunteer and paid members of emergency service organisations can be enhanced, potentially diminishing the likelihood of depression, aggression, and other detrimental effects. The findings will also contribute to the quality of training provided to leaders in emergency services. Theoretically, the project will advance understanding of the mechanisms that underpin the psychological capital construct, placing Australian researchers at the forefront of this important emerging field of inquiry.
