The rise of the gig economy in India has fundamentally transformed the nature of work, and it has a profound impact on the employment landscape of the country. This is mostly due to the increasing flexibility, technology-based and platform-oriented nature of jobs, concerns are becoming more pronounced – such as workers can suffer from loss of their mental reserves, greater emotional fatigue, substantial losses to their incomes. Lack of security, and also general decreases in wellness. Beyond individual positive psychological factors, there are two theories that explain the role of positive psychology in enhancing organization performance, theories like Positive Organizational Behaviour theory, and Conservation of Resources theory helps in strengthen the conceptual framework and the results obtained. This study investigates the configuration of psychological capital hope, self-efficacy, resilience and its impact on the quality of life. The overall health of those engaged in delivery services, transportation platforms can be helped by an attitude of optimism. That's not just IT platform jobs, it's other jobs that require IT, work, freelancing, even non-IT platform work. The research is designed quantitatively with a cross-sectional design and will be conducted using a structured equation modelling. A sample of 200 gig workers in Hyderabad, Warangal, Karimnagar and a few other cities through a questionnaire. In the urban areas of the state Telangana. Positive Psychological Capital is evidenced in the following areas of life
For this reason, the relationships are tested in a more direct manner using the method of Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). SPSS is proposed for the analysis; the expected results are that positive psychological capital (PsyCap) is likely to have a positive impact on Employee well-being of gig workers. It does that by reducing stress, ambiguity and confusion. The kind of work that you do on the platform, it's so exhausting and repetitive and there's no break. This study contributes a unique aspect to the still emerging conversation on gig employment in India. It does this by examining carefully the platform workforce of Telangana and how their inclusion of positive psychological resources make this possible. While a discussion about informal digital labour is somewhat convoluted in current, the subject is still on the agenda. Overall, the results are intended to provide practical recommendations for policymakers, platform firms, particularly HR practitioners, for creating psychologically sustaining gig work ecosystems.
