Psychological Capital as Moderator of Reactions to Stress

Listening to the word "Psychological Capital" gives an impression something related to Psychology and Capital. "Capital" alone has a number of different meanings depending upon its usage e.g. capital city, capital goods, capital profit, capital punishment and sometimes it is also used to express approval, satisfaction or delight. In whatever manner it is used, the basic and overall meaning suggests "something at higher position or at extreme". When we combine psychology with capital and speak of "Psychological Capital" it gives us an entirely different meaning that may be defined as positive and developmental state of an individual characterized by high self-efficacy, optimism, hope and resiliency (Luthans and Youssef, 2004). Psychological capital has been emerged from the roots of positive psychology and got its wings through Positive Organisational Behaviour.
