The present dissertation draws on psychological characteristics rooted in positive psychology research and analyzes their relevance for strategic decision-making processes and outcomes. The dissertation follows the aim of incorporating ordinarily positive psychological characteristics as drivers of strategic decision-making. Additionally, it aims at extending research specifically on Psychological Capital (PsyCap), a construct of central relevance in Positive Psychology, by examining its effects in strategic decision-making. To reach that aim, the dissertation starts by providing a conceptual overview of how PsyCap’s components self-efficacy, optimism, hope and resilience might impact strategic decision-making. Based on the results of this overview, the dissertation focuses on the special role of resilience and analyzes its role in strategic decision-making. Afterwards, it examines the overall effects of PsyCap on strategic decision-making. It further builds on these findings to conclude with the provision of a scientifically based but hands-on approach for assessing, allocating and, if required, adapting managers’ PsyCap to optimize strategic decision-making.
