DE LA IGLESIA, Guadalupe; LUPANO PERUGINI, María Laura  and  CASTRO SOLANO, Alejandro. Positive Personality Model: its relation to optimal functioning in active workers. Revista de Psicología [online]. 2019, vol.37, n.2, pp.425-449. ISSN 0254-9247.  http://dx.doi.org/10.18800/psico.201902.003.

This research aimed to analyzewhether positive traits could explain optimal functioning, the combination of high well-being and performance, of active workers. The sample comprised 400 active Argentinean workers between the ages of 18 and 66 years old (M_AGE=36.50, SD=11.81, 49.5% male, 50.5% female). Multiple lineal regressions revealed that positive traits increase the explained variance of the work variables (performance, satisfaction and well-being) in comparison to a prediction model that only included normal traits. Also, discriminant analysis revealed that of all traits, positive and normal, the only one that better discriminated the high/low optimal functioning groups was the positive trait sprightliness.

Keywords : positive traits; positive personality model; optimal functioning; organizational psychology; personality.
