Resumen

En este estudio se describe el constructo de capital psicológico positivo (Luthans y Youssef, 2004) y la validación en España de un instru-mento para medirlo: el PCQ (Psychological Capital Questionnaire). Este cues-tionario mide cuatro aspectos diferentes, aunque relacionados entre sí, del concepto más amplio de capital psicológico. Estos aspectos son la autoefi-cacia, la esperanza, el optimismo y la resiliencia. Los resultados obtenidos (N = 372) a través del modelado de ecuaciones estructurales confirmaron que la versión española del cuestionario presenta una alta fiabilidad, así co-mo validez convergente y discriminante. Se discuten los resultados, aporta-ciones y limitaciones del presente estudio
