This article provides information about the psychometric limitations of the original Compound Psychological Capital Scale (CPC-12) and suggests a revised version CPC-12R, a free-to-use measure of Psychological Capital. The investigation consisted of three studies: two of these identified psychometric limitations of the original scale, and the third presented the revised version of the scale. The first study did not confirm the hypothesized four-factor structure of the CPC-12 on a sample of Czech teachers (n = 282) and found psychometric limitations in the resilience subscale. The second study identified the same problem using secondary analyses of the original data from two samples of German employees (n = 202 and 321 respectively). The third study proposed a revised version of the scale with new items for resilience, and provided support for reliability and factorial validity of the new CPC-12R on a sample of Czech employees (n = 333). CPC-12R demonstrated a better fit to the theoretically supported model of Psychological Capital than CPC-12, and further displays adequate psychometric properties to be recommended for application in both research and practice.
本文提供了关于原始复合心理资本量表（CPC-12）的心理计量学限制的信息，并提出了一个经过修订的 CPC-12R 版本，这是一种免费使用的心理资本测量工具。该研究由三项研究组成：其中两项研究确定了原始量表的心理计量学限制，第三项研究则提出了量表的修订版。第一项研究在捷克教师样本（n=282）中未证实 CPC-12 假设的四因素结构，并发现了韧性分量表的心理计量学限制。第二项研究使用来自德国员工的两个样本（分别为 n=202 和 n=321）的原始数据进行二次分析，也发现了同样的问题。第三项研究提出了一个新的韧性分量表的修订版，并在捷克员工样本（n=333）中提供了新的 CPC-12R 的可靠性和因子有效性的支持。CPC-12R 与心理资本的理论支持模型拟合更好，并且具有足够的心理计量学特性，可推荐在研究和实践中应用。
