Abstract

To conclude the study, "Utrecht Work Engagement Scale" the "Positive Psychological Capital Scale" were used as tools. Results indicated that the positive psychological level of the participants was high and their work engagement levels were above the average. Also, it was determined that there was not a statistically significant difference in terms of the participants' psychological capital and work engagement according to the gender variable. Further, it was concluded that self-efficacy and optimism statistically predicted vigour and assimilation; self-efficacy, hope and optimism statistically predicted the concentration. It was determined that 58.4% of vigour, 36.6% of assimilation and 48.2% of concentration were explained by predictor variables.
