Abstract: 
This study examined the combined effects of psychological capital (PsyCap) and peace of mind on work centrality and in role performance in a random sample of 231 employees (N = 231) drawn from two public sector banks in Quetta city, Pakistan. Survey method was used to collect data. Data were collected in two phases. Respondents reported their levels of psychological capital and peace of mind in phase one; and their work centrality and in role performance were rated by their supervisors in phase two. Multiple linear regression and correlation techniques were used for hypotheses testing. Results indicated a positive association among all study variables. It was found that PsyCap and peace of mind are significant predictors of work centrality and in role performance but the magnitude of their effects is different. Peace of mind emerged as a stronger predictor than PsyCap. Results also highlighted that work centrality may also be used as a criterion to predict in role performance. Thus, it is recommended that organizations should endeavor to ensure all factors that contribute to employees' peace of mind and PsyCap.
