Pragmatic Methodology of Psychological Capital on Professional and Domestic Enhancement

Abstract

Higher education empowers women by opening newer innumerable opportunities for them by equipping them with requisite knowledge and skills. This in turn gives them confidence and the acquired confidence provides them the desire and determination to know and exercise their rights as ‘a daughter, a wife, a mother, a sister, an employee and above all as a woman’ (dailyexcelsior). Each of these roles requires time, energy and commitment to fulfill. Women going to work find it difficult to manage both the personal and public arenas of life. They are burdened with the ‘double shift’ paradigm, so called by women rights activists. In order to overcome from this paradigm, it is necessary for a woman to equip herself with the four components of Psychological capital namely Hope, Resilience, Efficacy and Optimism.
