Data collected from the questionnaires were analysed with SPSS 20.0. The results showed that stress level (r=0,288; p<0,01) has a negative relationship with psychological capital; job satisfaction (r=0,339; p<0,01) has a positive relationship with psychological capital; and organizational commitment (r=0,292; p<0,01) has a positive relationship with psychological capital.
