Indirect effect of psychological capital by using Partial Least Square (PLS) path analysis.

ABSTRACT: Understanding the relationship between Learned Helplessness (LH) and Psychological Capital (PsyCap) is essential for developing effective interventions for Indigenous adolescents. This study explored the role of PsyCap as a mediator in the link between LH and Psychological Well-Being (PWB). Total of 173 Indigenous adolescents (85 boys and 88 girls) from sixth to eleventh grade at government residential schools. Smart Partial Least Squares (PLS) software used for Path analysis and the results showed that the average variance extracted (AVE) values for LH (0.658), PsyCap (0.733), and PWB (0.681) were exceeded the Fornell-Larcker criterion for discriminant validity. The variance accounted for (VAF) indirect effect was 41.3 %, suggesting partial mediation. PsyCap partially mediated the relatio
