Abstract
After defining and providing the current status of psychological capital (PsyCap), we address the need to better understand its stability (i.e., state vs. trait).

The balance of this βincubatorβ article examines the relevance, potential obstacles, and advantages of this design in meeting PsyCap's future research needs. Copyright Β© 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
