 Abstract

This study assessed the predictive role of psychological capital in the psychological flow of administrative employees at private universities in Jordan. A total of 316 participants were surveyed using the Psychological Capital Scale and the Psychological Flow Scale, both of which demonstrated satisfactory validity and reliability. The results indicated moderate levels of psychological capital and psychological flow among participants. Gender had no significant effect on psychological capital, whereas academic qualification (postgraduate studies) and monthly income (above 700 dinars) were associated with significant differences. For psychological flow, only gender showed a significant effect, with females reporting higher levels. The predictive model was statistically significant (α = 0.05), with psychological capital explaining 27.5% of the variance in psychological flow. The standardized regression coefficient revealed that psychological flow increased by 0.524 standard units for each one standard unit increase in psychological capital. The study recommends further investigation into the relationship between psychological capital, psychological flow, and other variables related to mental health and positive psychology, including cognitive capital as a potential enhancer of psychological flow.
