Abstract

In the modern times, people’s desire for a good life has become more diverse due to rapid environmental changes. As they have extra time and energy in their lives, and women’s participation in the workplace increases, people’s desire to look young and beautiful has become stronger. Under these circumstances, cosmetologists who could satisfy such desire have become more important, playing a key role in providing beauty-related information and meeting aesthetic needs. Since beauty industry is highly dependent upon human resources, it is essential to develop and manage professional manpower. There have been some studies which concentrated on the positive aspects of employees such as the development and management of their strength, instead of focusing on the improvement of their negative behavior or problems. This kind of study emphasizing and developing employees’ positive aspects is a part of positive psychology. This study attempted to investigate the influence of positive psychological capital on job stress and analyze how they are correlated to each other against cosmetologists. For this, a survey was conducted against a total of 397 beauty industry workers, and the results found the followings: A significant influence was found in ‘self-efficacy-respecting other people’s opinions stress’, ‘optimism-self-development stress’ and other service-related stress. The above results confirmed that the necessity and perception of cosmetologists’ positive psychological capital would be a great help for both personal and organizational development in terms of the improvement of the efficiency of human resources. Furthermore, it’s anticipated that thanks to the utilization of positive psychological experiences, professionalism and pride would have an effect on correct job fulfillment.
