| Abstract | This study examines the construct validity of psychological capital (PsyCap) among flight attendants in Thailand, a population that is underrepresented in the existing literature. Utilizing confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) on data from 401 flight attendants, the research examines whether the four-component model of PsyCap (self-efficacy, hope, resilience, and optimism) holds within this specific occupational context. Results indicated a good fit for the four-factor model, with hope exhibiting the highest standardized factor loading (λ = 0.853), followed by self-efficacy (λ = 0.737), resilience (λ = 0.687), and optimism (λ = 0.592). Model fit indices, including χ2/df = 0.484, CFI = 1.000, TLI = 1.000, RMSEA = 0.000, and SRMR = 0.0026, supported the model's validity after allowing covariance between the resilience and optimism error terms. These findings confirm the applicability of the PsyCap construct among Thai flight attendants, emphasizing the potential for leveraging PsyCap in human resource management and development initiatives. The prominence of hope underscores its particular importance for this occupational group. This research contributes to understanding psychological resources among airline personnel and offers insights for enhancing employee resilience and well-being in the aviation sector. |
