Abstract
The aviation industry is highly competitive and characterized by demanding workloads, uncertainty, and workplace pressure, all of which directly affect the psychological well-being of its personnel. Psychological capital is therefore considered a crucial internal resource that strengthens individuals’ inner capacity to cope with such challenges. This research article aims to 1) study the level of psychological capital and psychological well-being among aviation industry personnel, 2) compare psychological well-being with their biosocial factors and 3) study the influence of psychological capital and their psychological well-being. Multi-stage sampling techniques were utilized for sample in this research. The questionnaire used in this study demonstrated high reliability, with a Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of 0.89 for psychological capital and 0.88 for psychological well-being. There were collected from 400 aviation industry personnel. The data were analyzed by frequency, mean, standard deviations, independent sample t-test, one-way analysis of variance, and multiple linear regression analysis. The research results revealed that the aviation industry has psychological capital (M = 3.94, S.D. = 0.66) and psychological well-being (M = 3.42, S.D. = 0.58) at
a high level. Those who have different job positions and job experiences have differences in psychological well-being at statistically significant levels at the 0.05 level. The psychological capital has influenced the psychological well-being of aviation industry personnel at statistically significant levels at the 0.01 level. Moreover, it can be predicted that psychological well-being = 1.182 + 0.271*Hope + 0.124*Self-Efficacy. Therefore, psychological capital plays vital role in enhancing the psychological well-being of aviation industry personnel. Organizations should prioritize the development of psychological capital through appropriate interventions and supportive measures to strengthen employees’ mental stability and long-term work performance.
