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.
