Abstract :
Happiness at work is a mindset which allows you to maximize performance and achieve your potential. You do this by being mindful of the highs and lows when working alone or with others. Maximizing an individuals psychological capital will lead to more success in the work environment and, with that, in life. The present study is an attempt to investigate the difference on psychological capital and happiness among private and government bank employees. For this purpose, 100 bank employees (50 government & 50 private bank employees) were selected randomly from the tri–city (Chandigarh, Mohali & Panchkula). Psychological Capital Scale and Oxford Happiness Questionnaire were administered individually. Results of the present investigation indicate that a significant difference was found on psychological capital and happiness among government and private bank employees, where private sector bank employees were found to be higher than their government sector counterparts on both the dimensions of psychological capital and happiness. As psychological capital is considered pre requisite for optimum performance in an organization, some significant strategies have been enlisted to boost the same.
