ABSTRACT:
The present study explores gender differences in PsyCap in working professionals in India. The sample consisted of 108 working professionals, 47 females and 61 males. Psychological Capital Questionnaire-24 was administered on the sample. Data was analysed using inferential statistics (t-test). It is found that no significant differences exist in PsyCap between males and females. Slight differences in all 4 dimensions– hope, optimism, resilience and efficacy were however found.
