Abstract

Whereas past research on internal learning has focused on evaluating how the observed learning rates affect collaborative interactionsamong the various actors, we extend this literature by analyzing internal learning in teams and the role of psychological capital in thisprocess. This study aims to analyze the mediating role of the perceived team structure in the relationship between positive psychologicalcapital and internal learning in teams. Therefore, a self-report questionnaire was applied to 480 college students to test this relationship,using structural equation modeling. The results confirmed the mediating role of the perceived team structure in the relationship betweenpsychological capital and internal learning in teams. Our work underlines the role of psychological capital in academic settings. On theother hand, due to rapid changes in today’s society, university students who will be future employees need to cultivate psychologicalcapital in order to achieve better learning outcomes.
