This study investigates the relationship between levels of positive psychological capital (PsyCap) and burnout among Thai flight attendants who are currently working for Thai Airways International. The sample included 305 flight attendants. The results indicate that the perceptions of their burnout level is low (mean = 2.10), and degree of their PsyCap is moderate (mean = 3.73); the aggregate of PsyCapand the burnout levels are found to be significantly negative (r =-0.42). All four components of PsyCap are negatively related to the level of burnout. The paper discusses the future research agenda. The implications of these findings and benefits of developing PsyCap for organisations are also discussed in the light of these findings.

This study aims to explore dimensions of quality of work life (QWL) of pilots by using an exploratory factor analysis (EFA). The sample was 400 pilots who are currently working for an airline based in Thailand. The items using in this study were generated using input from three sources. First, using input from commercial pilots who had a minimum of total 5,000 flying hour and currently working for either premium or low cost airlines in Thailand. Second, translated quality of work life items from a published research on Quality of Work Life of Personnel at Dhurakij Pundit University by Chatthai (2016). After the content analysis, the left items for the EFA analysis were 30 items. The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) demonstrated at 0.93. The exploratory factor analysis was to examine the loading patterns of QWL items. A principal component and orthogonal rotation (Verimax method) were chosen.
