Investing Psychological Capital (PsyCap) which builds self-efficacy, optimism, hope and resiliency has a significant positive correlation with desired employee attitudes, behaviors and performance. There is a strong, significant, positive relationship between PsyCap and desirable attitudes, behaviors, and performance and a negative relationship with undesirable attitudes (e.g., cynicism, stress, anxiety, and turnover intentions) and behaviors. Organizations which invest in PsyCap reap a significant ROI - up to 200%, according to the work of Fred Luthans.
