Se evaluó la relación existente entre el capital psicológico positivo, las conductas de ciudadanía organizacional y las conductas contraproducentes de trabajo a través de un estudio transversal correlacional. Para esto se contó con una muestra de 137 trabajadores de diversas organizaciones de Lima, con una edad entre los 21 y los 63 años (M=36.51; DE=9.71). Los resultados mostraron relaciones directas entre el capital psicológico y las conductas de ciudadanía organizacional, así como relaciones inversas entre el capital psicológico y las conductas contraproducentes de trabajo. Además, se encontraron diferencias dentro de las variables a nivel de edad y experiencia laboral total. Los resultados aportan evidencia acerca de la importancia del desarrollo del capital psicológico dentro de las organizaciones para la generación de conductas deseables en el entorno de trabajo. Las limitaciones y recomendaciones son incluidas al final del estudio.

work behaviors, through a cross-section correlational study of a sample of 137 workers aged 21 to 63 (M=36.51; SD=9.71), from different companies in Lima.

A relação existente entre o capital psicológico positivo, os comportamentos de cidadania organizacional e os comportamentos
de trabalho contraproducentes foi avaliada através de um estudo transversal correlacional. Nesse sentido, contamos com uma amostra de 137 trabalhadores de diversas organizações de Lima, com idade entre 21 e 63 anos (M=36,51;DE=9,71). Os resultados mostraram relações diretas entre capital psicológico e comportamentos de cidadania organizacional, bem como relações inversas entre capital psicológico e comportamentos de trabalho contraproducentes. Além disso, foram encontradas diferenças dentro das variáveis em nível de idade e experiência total de trabalho. Os
resultados fornecem evidências sobre a importância do desenvolvimento do capital psicológico dentro das organizações
para a geração de comportamentos desejáveis no ambiente de trabalho. As limitações e recomendações estão incluídas no final do estudo.
