39039

The main purpose of this study is to explore the structure of the organizational psychological capital and to examine the reliability and validity of the Turkish translation of a commonly used scale. The sample composed of 235 low and mid-level managers working in the public sector. The findings showed that the reliability coefficients for the sub dimensions of the scale varied between 0,67 and 0,85 and the test-retest reliability of the factors changed between 0,70 and 0,77. Moreover, the results of the factor analysis confirmed the fit of the four-factor model measuring the “optimism”, “hope”, “resilience” and “self efficacy” dimensions. Ultimately, it was determined that the Turkish version of the Psychological Capital Scale is a reliable and valid scale.
