Past research shows Psychological Capital (PsyCap) to be associated with behaviors and performance at work, but few studies link PsyCap to the job seeking process. This project highlights how PsyCap might support persistence and success among job seekers. In study 1, using a two-wave design (N = 447), findings indicate that PsyCap might help individuals persist in job seeking, resulting in more interviews, offers, and employment. In study 2, using a quasi-experimental design (N = 361), findings indicate that PsyCap can be developed among job seekers through the PsyCap intervention model. Practical implications for counsellors and job seekers are discussed.
