Abstract:
The present study examines the roles of individual and collective psychological capital (cPsyCap) in shaping team members' complex problem-solving performance, based on complex problem-solving interaction theory. Using an experimental design involving 396 participants divided into 132 randomly formed teams. The research identifies that individual psychological capital (individual PsyCap) fully mediates the relationship between Problem-situation complexity and individual performance. Additionally, cPsyCap is found to positively moderate this mediation. The findings provide insights into how both individual PsyCap and cPsyCap influence problem-solving outcomes, highlighting the importance of targeted training to enhance cPsyCap within team structures.
