Abstract
Academic positive psychological capital is a crucial construct to develop and enhance learning, critical thinking, motivation, and personal growth among students. This research investigates the association between study engagement and psychological capital, and tries to find out which components of psychological capital are predictors of study engagement among students. This study is both descriptive and correlational in nature. The population of the research included students studying at different universities and colleges under various undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in Uttarakhand, India. A sample size of 147 students was selected using a simple random technique. The data was recorded systematically in IBM-SPSS v26 software for further analysis. Pearson correlation and step-wise regression analysis were used to analyse the data. Hence, it was found that there is a statistically significant association between study engagement and psychological capital. Also, hope, self-efficacy, and optimism were found to be good predictors of students’ study engagement.
