Resumen

El capital psicológico es un constructo que se incluye en el marco de comportamiento organizacional positivo, que se basa en principios positivos de psicología. Este concepto está compuesto por cuatro dimensiones interrelacionadas: autoeficacia, esperanza, resiliencia y optimismo. El objetivo de este estudio fue reportar las propiedades psicométricas de una de las medidas de capital psicológico, el Cuestionario de Capital Psicológico-12 (PCQ-12), en una muestra de 396 trabajadores mexicanos. La estructura del factor de este instrumento se analizó a través de un análisis factorial confirmatorio. La fiabilidad se evaluó con los coeficientes alfa y compuestos de Cronbach. Además, también se evaluaron la validez convergente y discriminante. Con base en tres modelos concurrentes, se observó que el modelo que tenía un mejor ajuste estaba compuesto por cuatro factores correlacionados. Se discuten las implicaciones de estos resultados y se brindan recomendaciones para futuras investigaciones. Este documento, que presenta una estructura factorial diferente a la habitual del capital psicológico, sugiere que las diferencias culturales pueden jugar un papel crucial en la forma en que se comporta la construcción evaluada.
