Unemployment has negative effects on the educated youth in Pakistan. The
present study investigated the influence of psychological capital,
extraversion, and depression on the unemployed versus employed
graduates. A purposive sample of 300 male and female graduates (n = 150
employed and n = 150 unemployed) was assessed in a cross-sectional
research design, using DASS-21 (Lovibond & Lovibond, 1995), Neo-FFI,
Extraversion sub-scale, (Costa & McCrae, 1992), and Psychological
Capital Questionnaire (Youssef & Luthans, 2008). Results of the study
suggested that extraversion and psychological capital were significantly
correlated (r = .36, p < .01), but these two variables were not significantly
correlated with depression. Significant differences in depression,
extraversion, and psychological capital were found in different types of
employment, job status, and gender. The current study might be helpful for
government and educational institutes to sketch schemes and policies for
unemployed educated youth.
