Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to examine how Psychological
Capital and Self-Driven Personality fuse to affect
Happiness at Work in the nursing profession in
Uganda. The paper adopts a cross-sectional descriptive
and analytical design. The authors employ structural
equation modeling to test hypotheses. Using
proportionate and simple random sampling procedures,
a sample of 900 respondents was drawn from
different hospitals in Uganda of which a response
rate of 88.8 percent was obtained. The magnitude effect
of Self-Driven Personality on Happiness at Work
depends on Psychological Capital; implying that the
assumption of non-additivity is met. Only a single
research methodological approach was employed
and future research through interviews could be undertaken
to triangulate. In order to boost happiness
at the workplace, heads of hospitals should always
endeavor to find a viable self-driven personality- psychological
capital blend that can add value to nurses
in Uganda. This is one of the few studies that focus
on testing the interactive effects of psychological
capital on the relationship between self-driven personality
and happiness at the workplace in Uganda’s
health sector.
