Abstract:

This thesis investigates the factors that contribute to psychological capital in the workplace, focusing on resilience, mindfulness, and self-compassion as core constructs. Data were collected from a sample of 101 individuals working in different sectors in Prague using a quantitative approach. Quantitative analyses, including correlation and regression analyses, were used to explore the relationships between resilience, mindfulness, self-compassion, job satisfaction, turnover intention, and job performance. The results show that there are some correlations between psychological resilience, mindfulness, self-compassion, and various workplace outcomes. Psychological resilience was found to be a predictor of job satisfaction and performance, while mindfulness played an important role in reducing turnover intentions. Furthermore, self-compassion showed complex relationships with work-related variables, highlighting the need for further research. A strength of the study is the comprehensive examination of multiple variables. Limitations such as sample size and generalisability identify areas for future research. Recommendations for practitioners emphasise the role of managers in supporting employee development and well-being to improve overall organisational performance.
