=== Subjective Vitality and Psychological Capital ===

Psychological capital, or ‘PsyCap’, is an individual’s positive psychological state characterized by (1) having confidence (efficacy) to take on and put in the necessary effort to succeed at challenging tasks, (2) making a positive attribution (optimism) about succeeding now and in the future, (3) persevering towards goals and, when necessary, redirecting paths to goals (hope) in order to succeed, and (4) when beset by problems and adversity, sustaining and bouncing back (resiliency) to attain success (Luthans, Morgan & Avolio, 2015, pp. 2). Extant literature has attempted to highlight the antecedents and consequences of PsyCap, by specifically focussing on the utility of PsyCap in organizational life (e.g. Luthans, 2007, Bakker, & Schaufeli, , 2008) and personal life (Avey et al., 2010). Avey (2014) investigated three categories of antecedents to PsyCap: demographics (e.g., age, gender, and tenure), individual differences (e.g., self-esteem and proactive personality), and contextual factors (e.g., leadership roles and job design) and found the strongest support for individual differences.
