Abstract

Abstract: This study assesses the magnitude of work life integration among health care workers with the help of positive psychology constructs in COVID-19 crisis. The effect of optimistic approach and sense of belongingness is studied on the performance-oriented healthcare workers and how it influenced their withdrawal cognition. The moderating effect of fear of corona disease is also analysed on performance orientor and withdrawal cognition. Empirical data derived through face-to-face interactions of 357 health care professionals using partial least squares-structural equation modelling PLS-SEM 3.3.3 provides the detailed analysis of the model (measurement and structural). The results indicate that optimistic approach and sense of belongingness contribute towards performance-oriented health care work with R 2 value of 79% ( β = .533; t = 7.042; p< 0.00) and ( β = .0.391; t = 5.43; p< 0.00) respectively. Performance orientor show negative relation with withdrawal cognition ( β = -0.122.; t = 2.11; p< 0.00) and R 2 -value of 74.8%. The moderation effect of fear of corona disease shows negative affect on performance orientor ( β = -0.044.; t = 26.10; p< 0.01); R 2 -value of 79.3% and positive interaction on the withdrawal cognition ( β = 0.844; t = 38.42; p< 0.00) and R 2 -value of 76.4%.
