Abstract

The paper examines the relationship between psychological capital and well-being; besides evaluating the effect of Life satisfaction as a mediator, and Gender as a moderator variable. Primarily, the study aims at substantiating the association of positive psychology to individual well-being; and the mitigating role of gender to explain this association. The data was obtained in two phases; wherein at the end of the second phase, a total of 197 usable responses were obtained through a structured research instrument. The study adopted a mediated-moderation analysis, to examine the theoretical model and the hypothesised conjectures. The findings support the hypothesised positive association between psychological capital and well-being; though the mediator variable was found inert. The study revealed a significant moderation effect of gender; wherein almost all the relationships were purged with its intervention. Our study emphasises the significance of psychological fortitude to create individual well-being; and counterintuitively, the investigation negates the need for life satisfaction in this primal association. Furthermore, the study hints at the need for bespoke policies, as the hypothesized associations between variables are differently influenced by distinct genders. The findings of the study can assist nations, institutions and societies in comprehending the influence of positive psychology on well-being. The study also shares insights into the significance of gender in creating individual happiness. The investigation magnifies the direct association between psychological capital and well-being; with the moderating effect of gender, to explain this relationship. The study has the potential to substantiate the significance of positive psychology to the feelings of happiness and eudemonia; besides underscoring the connotation of gender to explain this nexus.
