Sumario:The main objective of this dissertation is to develop and broaden the scientific knowledge about personal resource development as a strategy to promote employees' psychological wellbeing and performance at work. For this purpose, some research questions are raised that address the needs of both researchers and evidence-based practitioners. These research questions are addressed in several chapters that include empirical studies and an integrative review and investigate the phenomena both at work and in an educational context. The main conclusions shed light on the usefulness of conducting interventions that combine the development of different personal resources as a cost-effective strategy for promoting psychological wellbeing and performance at work. They also reveal the relevance of obtaining a training transfer to daily work life to achieve the interventions' sustainability.
