“…The respondent is invited to choose one of the dichotomy statements and assess the degree of representation of this phenomenon in their activities at a specific workplace. The method gives an opportunity to evaluate both the general index of attitude to work and the individual components: stability (1,5,9,13,17); effectiveness (2,6,10,14,18); relationships with the team (3,7, 11 -inverse, 15, 19-inverse); discipline (4,8,12, 16 -inverse, 20).…”

“…Research on psychological capital and organizational loyalty of employees is an actual problem of the modern psychology of labor. The transition to the project form of labor organization in many industries requires an assessment of the employees' loyalty and their satisfaction because the termination of the activity of a key specialist before the end of the work period threatens the failure of the entire project (Shahnawaz, Jamee & Abdurrahiman, 2018). Modern methods of studying psychological capital are cumbersome and unprotected from the influence of socially desirable responses (Williams, Kern & Waters, 2015;Wang et al, 2018).…”

Purpose of the study: The purpose of the study is to create and to test a method based on the principles of semantic differential and to check the level of its consistency with the method of PsyCap. Methodology: The study was conducted in Ukraine, at the first stage, there were 112 adult participants, where 52 were men and 60 were women. The second stage involved 69 people who were getting second higher education. For the purpose of mathematical and statistical processing of the obtained data, the SPSS 21 program was used, factor analysis and correlation analysis were performed. Main Findings: The conducted research made it possible to reveal the semantic space of the "work" concept, and to distinguish four main factors: stability, effectiveness, relations in the team and discipline. They do not coincide with the parameters of the PsyCap, which include self-confidence, the ability and willingness to make efforts to successfully accomplish complex tasks - that is efficiency; optimism - a positive attributive style regarding the success of current and future activities; hope - vision of the perspective, purposefulness in the construction of activity; resilience - ability to overcome difficulties, solve problems in the process of achieving the goal. Applications of this study: The study could be useful for HR-specialists, psychologists, and employees in different spheres. In further research, it is desirable to continue the testing and standardization of the semantic differential "Attitude to work" and to conduct a cross-cultural study to find out if these factors of attitude to work are purely Ukrainian, or they are more general in nature. Novelty/Originality: Modern methods of studying psychological capital are cumbersome and unprotected from the influence of socially desirable responses. Therefore, there was a need to create a smaller procedure based on the principles of the semantic differential.

The main objective of this study is to show the social positive and psychological impact on the performance efficiency of audit offices from the perspective of the employees in those offices, and to fulfill this, the researchers relied on two inputs: the inductive and descriptive analytical approach, as well as relying on spss software to analyze data of this study, and test the hypothesis, which were in descriptive statistics metrics, model fit tests, and multiple linear regression analysis, to test the study hypothesis. The study sample consisted of 325 qualified people working in these offices. The most important conclusion from this research is that the psychological capital develops the fruitful exploitation of auditors in the work, to accomplish the audit work. In addition, the directors of audit offices seek to establish social cooperative relations among office workers. The most substantial recommendations of this research are crystallized by attracting human and intellectually, psychologically, socially and practically qualified elements who have sufficient skills and experience in auditing processes, in addition, the demand to encourage teamwork, and give powers to team members, so that many of the work problems are resolved through teams.

“…Different factor structures were reported in the Indian context by various scholars (Shahnawaz and Jafri, 2009;Sihag and Sarikwal, 2014;Gupta and Singh, 2014;Sen and Hooja, 2015;Kumar and Shah, 2015;Sahoo and Sia, 2015;Karmakar, 2016;Baskaran and Rajarathinam, 2017;Hasnain et al, 2017;Shahnawaz et al, 2018). Gupta and Singh (2014) framed a new scale of psy cap suitable to the Indian context and recommended further research to assess psy cap's psychometric properties.…”

Psychological capital (psy cap) research is context specific. Different factor structure in its framework suggests different psychological resources in different cultural settings. This paper's purpose is to address this gap by conducting qualitative research in the Indian context. Data analysis was done through grounded theory's 'paradigm model'. Data were collected through in-depth interviews of 25 middle-level managers in India from different sectors. The present data explorations observed the presence of two more psychological resources (spirituality and courage) besides the first four HERO (hope, efficacy, resilience, and optimism) and made an attempt to redefine it as 'expanded psychological capital'. Supportive organisational climate, authentic leadership and job experience were identified as moderators. Desirable attitudes comprising organisational commitment, job satisfaction, and well-being have been identified as consequences. The findings suggest that by including workplace spirituality and courage in psychological capital framework, the workplace outcomes for the Indian employees can be more promising.
