Abstract :This study aims to compare psychological capital and self-compassion in terms of various generations working in aviation companies, and also to investigate the effect of psychological capital on self-compassion. The research data were collected from 303 employees working in air taxi companies in Turkey, using the purposeful sampling method, by face-to-face survey technique. The data obtained were tested with the SPSS 25.0 package program. Frequency analysis, factor and reliability analysis, descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and Kolmogorov-Smirnov test were performed on the data collected in the study. Levene test and ANOVA analysis were made in the discrimination tests. In order to understand from which generation the differences originate, the Post Hoc test using the Tukey HSD test was also applied. As a result of the research findings, a significant difference emerged between hope, which is one of the sub-dimensions of psychological capital, and Generation Z. It was found that there is a significant difference between psychological resilience and self-compassion and Generation Y. It was also determined that psychological capital, hope, and psychological resilience have a significant and positive effect on self-compassion. Finally, it was determined that optimism had a significant and positive effect on self-compassion.
