If an employee experiences psychological positivity (PsyCap) is it likely, that the employee will be more engaged in their work and committed to their organization? In seek of this, the problem addressed by the study was to investigate if employees experienced PsyCap and if so, could PsyCap positively affect desirable workplace behaviors. Thus, the purpose of this study examined employee perceived levels and distinguished possible positive correlations between PsyCap, work engagement, and organizational commitment. The theoretical framework that guided the study stemmed from positive psychology, where the focus is on strengths and optimizing potentials in people. Without doubt, businesses gain opportunities when the strengths of employees are recognized and potentials are optimized. Research methodology included a quantitative correlational study that examined the perceived levels of PsyCap, engagement, and organizational commitment of front-line employees of entrepreneurship businesses in Chicago, Illinois. The levels of perceived PsyCap, engagement, and organizational commitment were measured using the PCQ, UWES, and OCQ. Data was gathered using Qualtrics and statistically analyzed using SPSS. The results of this study confirmed that RQ1., RQ2., and RQ3. aligned with existing research, and there was a positive correlation between PsyCap, work engagement, and organizational commitment. Findings from this study support the importance of psychological positivity of employees and the impact upon positive workplace behaviors. By way of an evidence-based and positive approach in recognizing and optimizing strengths of employees, entrepreneurship businesses gain opportunities to succeed and thrive. Recommendations for future research could involve a larger demographic area. In addition, the study was conducted during Covid19 and employee perceived levels of PsyCap, engagement, and organizational commitment could be possibly different when studied during a less turbulent time.
