Abstract: The theory of psychological capital not only pays attention to the competitive advantage and em-ployee performance of the organization, but also emphasizes the growth and development of employees, which opens up a new perspective for the study of employees’ professional well-being. Occupational well-being is a reflection of subjective well-being in the workplace, and refers to employees’ positive and negative emotional experiences and cognitive evaluations of their work. After controlling the determinants of other occupational well-being, a model of the effect of psychological capital on occupational well-being is constructed, and the model is used to obtain experimental data. By analyzing the experimental data, it can be concluded that the stronger the psychological capital, the stronger the professional happiness.
