Asian management thinkers and academician have called for Asian management researchers
to employ Asian thought and culture in research (Fang, 2010; Meyer, 2006; Zhang, Waldman,
Han, & Li, 2015). In view of these scholarly calls, this research aimed at, firstly, validating the
positive psychological capital construct within work settings of Pakistan; secondly, broadening the positive psychological capital construct through adding dimensions of wisdom and
gratitude that are typified in the Asian collectivist culture with the purpose of augmenting
organisational behaviour theory and practice, specifically within Asia. Data were obtained
from 285 employees working in the telecommunication industry. Analytical procedures
involved gauging the construct’s psychometric properties using factor analysis procedures. In
line with expectations, results confirmed validation of the positive psychological capital
construct in the Pakistani context. Results also revealed that wisdom and gratitude are indeed
dimensions of the positive psychological capital construct. This study mainly confirms the
psychological capital construct within Pakistan and also broadens the construct by identifying
and testing for additional positive strengths, rooted in the Asian culture, that compose this
construct. Additional theoretical/academic implications and notable strengths and limitations
of the study are provided at the end.
