Findings of positive psychological capital have proved that the subject needs to be developed with micro interventions, and thus, have led to new researches in the literature. This study was designed to test whether the micro interventions to the positive psychological capital level will affect the level of positive psychological capital of the employees, as well as the level of engagement to both the job and to organization. Positive psychological capital development training, based on the direction of Luthans and his coworkers (2006, 2008 ve 2010) were implemented by Solomon four group experimental design. The training was carried out in 7 sessions with the participation of 110 volunteers from various sectors.
