Evgenia Pavlakou

Abstract
The trait of hope is one of the most studied areas in the field of psychology. Widely accepted in science is the use of the Snyder Adult Hope scale, which largely identifies people's ability to achieve their goals but to find alternative solutions to problems. The present study shows that corporate training in a private healthcare facility has beneficial effects on the levels of hope judging by the results of applying Snyder Hope Scale. In addition to that is shown that hospital administrators actually admit the importance of such training programs and the importance of hope for staff thus noting that longer-term coaching and mentoring training programs should be established.
