Abstract
This research contributes to the study of the trait of hope, focusing on the Snyder Hope Scale. It begins by examining the fundamental aspects of hope theories spanning various disciplines, from medicine to psychology. Subsequently, the core tenets of Snyder's theory and the scale he developed for hope measurement are explored. The study implemented the scale in a large private hospital in Athens, where participants completed questionnaires both before and after a corporate training seminar. The research aims to investigate whether the seminar has led to increased hope levels among the participants and how the hospital managers perceived this initiative.
