Introduction Positive and organizational psychology can offer an
important contribution to strengthen human virtues that protects
intra- and interpersonal functioning, which, in turn, might enhance
worker’s well-being and the success of organizations.
Objective To study the associations between a psychological
construct, self-compassion, and some organizational constructs,
organizational commitment and organizational virtuosity and to
explore differences in each construct by gender, age, working time
(in the organization), type of employment bond and professional
group.
Aims Positive actions inside organizations promote positive
emotional states.
Method One hundred and thirty workers from local adminis-
tration (men, n = 78; 60%; age, M= 44,22; SD = 8,67; range = 19-63
years old) filled in the Self-Compassion Scale, the Organizational
Commitment Questionnaire, the Organizational Virtuosity Ques-
tionnaire and the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scales.
Results There was a positive association between organizational
commitment and organizational virtuosity. Optimismand integrity
(organizational virtuosity dimensions) positively correlated with
the self-criticism dimension and with self-compassion total score.
Some dimensions of mental health (depression and stress) were
negatively associated with organizational virtuosity. Employees
with less education, belonging to a professional group less qualified
or with an unfavourable employment bond perceived the organi-
zation as less virtuous, and were less committed.
Conclusion Promoting positive actions inside organizations seem
to encourage positive emotional states in individuals. The devel-
opment of a compassionate capacity, by self-compassion and
mindfulness, humanize both individuals and organizations. These
workers, with their leaders, can promote affective and normatively
committed workforces, presenting positive perceptions about
organizational virtues.

Introduction The use of drugs to improve cognitive performance
(pharmacological enhancement) is a practice that increases in fre-
quency, especially in individuals with a high degree of academic
education, university students, and workforce with high responsi-
bilities. Legal substances such as alcohol and caffeine, prescription
drugs such as modafinil or methylphenidate and some illegal drugs
such as amphetamines or cannabis are utilized to improve cognitive
performance, maintain wakefulness, or induce sleep. Perception of
risk is low in many cases. Internet has facilitated the illicit access
to prescription drugs with astonishing ease.
Objective and methods We want to exemplify through a clinical
case, how the access to some of these substances through internet is
very easy, and how, in this case, the use of Modafinil (drug indicated
for narcolepsy) with the objective of maintaining academic perfor-
mance aggravates symptoms of anxiety in a 22-year universitary
patient.
Results Exposition of clinical case in the poster.
Conclusions The use of substances (“smart drugs”) presents risks
for both physical and psychological health that sometimes are
not perceived by the user. It is surprising that a highly educated
individual has taken Modafinil without researching for a deep
understanding of the side effects of the drug.
Internet access of regulated substances that should only be pre-
scribed by a physician to be used on very concrete symptoms
is extremely easy. In the case of the Modafinil, it is possible to
access its purchase by simply searching the words “purchase/buy
Modafinil” in any internet browser.
