Psychological Capital As A Predictor Of Creative Self-Efficacy: A Study Of Healthcare Employees

Abstract Organizations increasingly demand creative innovation from employees even as chronic workplace stress and burnout narrow the cognitive flexibility needed for such innovation. This study examined whether Psychological Capital (PsyCap), a positive psychological resource comprising hope, efficacy, resilience, and optimism, predicts Creative Self-Efficacy (CSE) among employees of HCL Healthcare, and whether this relationship differs between clinical and corporate staff. A quantitative, cross-sectional survey design was used with a convenience sample of N=70 full-time employees across clinical and corporate divisions. PsyCap was measured using the PCQ-12 and CSE using Karwowski et al.'s Short Scale of Creative Self-Efficacy (SSCS). Results showed a significant positive correlation between PsyCap and CSE (r = .49), and simple linear regression confirmed that PsyCap significantly predicted CSE, accounting for approximately 24% of the variance in creative self-efficacy scores. Independent samples t-tests revealed no significant difference in PsyCap or CSE levels between clinical and corporate employees, suggesting the relationship holds consistently across occupational roles within the organization. These findings extend existing literature by empirically establishing PsyCap as a significant predictor of CSE in a healthcare setting and suggest that interventions aimed at building psychological capital, such as resilience and efficacy-focused training, may help sustain creative capacity among both clinical and corporate staff operating under high-pressure conditions.
