This study aims to classify the factors affecting the employee's job satisfaction by studying the linear and non-linear effects of employees' positive psychological capital on employment satisfaction. According to this purpose, 152 of the sufficient and data-sensitive forms returning from the survey forms sent to the entire 192 special training staff working in the Muğla special training rehabilitation centers have been included in the research. The obtained data were identified as the main factors determining business satisfaction in the hope, durability and optimism dimensions of the positive psychological capital scale as a result of the first-level multi-factor verifying factor analysis (DFA).

The results of this analysis have been identified as the motivating factor on the job satisfaction in the hope, flexibility and optimism dimensions of the positive psychological capital.
