Kepuasan kerja didefinisikan sebagai perasaan pemenuhan terhadap pekerjaan. Pendekatan psikologi positif di tempat kerja melihat aspek kepuasan kerja melalui istilah modal psikologis (PsyCap). Ada anggapan bahwa kepuasan kerja dipengaruhi oleh strategi koping untuk mengatasi stres. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memahami hubungan antara PsyCap dan kepuasan kerja menggunakan regresi linear. Selain itu, untuk memahami peran strategi koping stres sebagai variabel moderasi. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode survei dengan skala yang digunakan, Psychological Capital Questionnaire (PCQ), Brief COPE Inventory, dan Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ) telah diadaptasi ke Bahasa Indonesia oleh penelitian sebelumnya. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa PsyCap mampu memprediksi kepuasan kerja secara signifikan sebesar 46% (F=206.414; p =<0.01). Selanjutnya, strategi koping stres mampu memoderasi hubungan antara PsyCap dan kepuasan kerja pada aspek emotion-focused coping (F=6,985; p=0,009). Aspek problem-focused coping tidak mampu memoderasi hubungan kedua variabel (F=1,285; p=0,258).
