Abstract: This study applied the Conservation of Resources (COR) theory to observe the moderating impact of marital status on the association between Psychological Capital and Job Satisfaction, OCBI.It proved that married and single employees observe different associations between their psychological capacities and work outcomes, possibly explained through the structural social support offered by marriage.We applied the covariance basedstructural equation modeling using AMOS and approached the significant path, using multi-group CFA.The study applied time lagged data and used variant sources, such as self and peer reports, for independent and outcome variables.It has thus made an attempt to extend the theory of psychological capital, predominantly developed and tested in Western settings, in an Eastern setting.
