Abstract

This research examines the moderating influence of psychological capital on the relationship among stress, burnout, and company performance. A quantitative methodology utilising a closed-end questionnaire was employed to evaluate stress, burnout, psychological capital, and business performance among 400 employees in business organisations in Islamabad. The results indicate a substantial positive association between stress and burnout, both of which adversely affect business performance. Psychological capital has emerged as a significant moderating variable, mitigating the detrimental impacts of stress on burnout and improving overall corporate performance. The findings indicate that psychological capital, which includes self-efficacy, optimism, resilience, and hope, serves as a significant asset in alleviating the adverse effects of stress and burnout in professional settings. This study underscores the necessity of creating interventions to augment psychological capital in commercial organisations to boost employee well-being and organisational performance.
