Abstract: The present research examines the relationship between psychological capital and quality of life (QOL), with (and without) mediation of social capital (SC) and quality of work life (QWL). The research statistical population includes employees of a chosen state organisation. The collected data through the questionnaire were used in the structural equation modelling for test of the research hypotheses and the assumed relationships between the variables. Validity of the questionnaires was examined and verified consulting the university professors and experts, and the questionnaires' reliability was determined by calculating their Cronbach's alpha, that, indicating adequate reliability of them. According to the results, PsyCap had a positive effect on QOL, SC and QWL. In addition, SC positively influenced employee's quality of work life and QOL in the understudy organisation. Finally, the variables SC and quality of work life significantly mediated in the relationship between PsyCap and QOL. All these relationships were significant at 95% confidence interval.
