| Abstract: | It has been suggested that psychological capital(self-efficacy, optimism, resilience and hope) predicts employee performance. The article studies this issue by examining Portuguese public administrations' performance appraisal system(SIADAP). The results of the study are contrary to what has been suggested before in the literature. According to the research no psychological capital dimension predicts supervisor-rated work performance. The paper argues that SIADAP features should be examined carefully to find possible neutralizing factors that might affect the outcome of performance appraisal by neutralizing psychological capital's impact. |
