PsyCap consists of self-efficacy, optimism, hope and resiliency. As a single construct, these four components have been linked to positive outcomes for organizations, but they have never been studied in relation to work engagement (as conceptualized by Schaufeli & Bakker, 2003). Academic and administrative staff of a Dutch university (N=301) filled in an online questionnaire. The study results showed that job resources, PsyCap, and work engagement are distinct constructs which are significantly related. Job resources were related to work engagement both directly and indirectly via PsyCap. This study confirms the theoretical importance of including personal resources in the JD-R model, as well as the practical relevance of the construct of PsyCap.", }
