A Systematic Review On Psychological Capital And Psychological Well-Being (1993-2023)

Abstract

In the literature, many studies have been conducted on the terms of psychological capital and psychological well-being over the last thirty years. However, it has been observed that the interest in these concepts has increased today. Most of the studies have been obtained at the relational level or with quantitative methods. However, the number of studies in which the constructs of psychological capital and psychological wellbeing are examined systematically or qualitatively is quite limited. In this research, a systematic mapping was made for the relevant concepts using R and Rstudio programs together, with the help of data obtained from Wos. In this way, potential researchers will be capable of seeing the conditions of the relationship between psychological capital and psychological well-being in the last thirty years and will be able to have deeper and clearer information about the levels of related concepts. When we look at the most emphasised key concepts based on the analysis, it is sighted that keywords such as leadership, social capital, old age, hedonic well-being and good mood are at the forefront. When looking at niche areas of study, keywords such as climate change, adaptation, migration and innovation emerge. In other words, scientists doing research in the branches of administration and organisational or non-clinical psychology should look at graphs containing motor or basic concepts, if they want to do a deeper investigation and understand the subject in general. Based on these data, although the terms psychological capital and well-being are thought to be in the context of affirmative psychology, their relationship with the concepts that are popularly described as dark behaviours is also examined. By offering a systematic examination and guidance for the future, the data of the study adds something unique to the literature.
