    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

    This study describes the construct of positive psychological capi-tal (Luthans and Youssef, 2004) and the validation of the Spanish version of the PCQ (Psychological Capital Questionnaire) in a sample of 372 employees. This questionnaire measures four different components, although related, of the broader concept of psychological capital. These components are self-efficacy, hope, optimism and resilience. Structural equation modeling revealed that the Spanish version of the questionnaire shows a high reliabil-ity and convergent and discriminant validity. Results, and contributions, and limitations of the present study are discussed
