The present study was conducted to investigate the efficacy of psychological capitals training on the job engagement and responsibility of the staff with work-family conflict in Sarkhoon and Qeshm gas Company. It was a quasi-experimental study with pretest, posttest, control group and tree-month follow-up period design. The statistical population included the staff with work-family conflict in Sarkhoon and Qeshm oil and Gas Company in the spring of 2021. 27 employees were selected through purposive sampling method and randomly accommodated into experimental and control groups. The experimental group received psychological capitals training (10 sessions) during two-and-a-half months. The applied questionnaires in this study included work-family conflict questionnaire (Carlson, Kacmar, and Williams, 2000), job engagement and questionnaire (Schaufeli, Salanova, 2002) and responsibility questionnaire (Carroll, 2010).
