As a result of this approach which presents a new perspective for the organizations, positive psychological capital has emerged, which is behind social and human capital and includes psychological capacities of individuals such as selfefficacy, hope, optimism and resiliency.

It is expected that the understanding the roots and components of positive psychological capital and the new perspective in organizational psychology will contribute the future investigations and development of the concept.
