Abstract

This study aims to analyze the impact of positive psychology on job performance. It measures psychological factors which typically hinder job performance, the five pillars of PERMA as an indicator of positive intelligence, and self-assessed job performance. The present study was conducted through an online questionnaire composed of Shirzad Chamine’s inner saboteur questionnaire, Kern’s Workplace PERMA Profiler questionnaire, and Goodman & Syvantek’s Job Performance Scale. The research was developed on a 457-respondent non-probabilistic cohort. One of our main findings is that the inner saboteurs fall into two clusters, one oriented toward performance and the other toward emotion. Positive intelligence, as measured through PERMA seemed to have a positive effect on job performance in the emotion-oriented saboteurs, while it has no or negative effect on the performance-oriented saboteurs.
