Team Psychological Capital A Scoping Review

This scoping review offers a comprehensive synthesis of the literature on team PsyCap. Based on a sample of 31 studies, our review indicates that (1) researchers have been somewhat inconsistent in how they operationalize team PsyCap, (2) gaps still remain in the nomological network of team PsyCap, (3) previous studies have mostly relied on time-insensitive designs, and (4) there is a thin use of theory when it comes to the explanation of the emergence of team PsyCap. In response, we highlight how issues pertaining to composition models contribute to clarify the nature of the team PsyCap construct, we propose interesting avenues for future research, and we introduce a temporal and recurring phase model of the emergence of team PsyCap.
