Persaingan bisnis menjadi sebuah tantangan yang semakin berat bagi perusahaan-perusahaan di negara Indonesia dengan adanya pengaruh Masyarakat Ekonomi ASEAN (MEA). Psyhological Capital (PsyCap) merupakan salah satu sudut pandang dalam dunia psikologi positif yang dapat memengaruhi keberhasilan perusahaan dalam menghadapi masalah persaingan dalam MEA. Authentic leadership atau kepemimpinan otentik merupakan salah satu gaya kepemimpinan yang sering dikaitkan dengan PsyCap bawahan namun belum banyak diteliti di Indonesia. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk membuktikan ada tidaknya hubungan antara kepemimpinan otentik dengan PsyCap bawahan. Responden penelitian ini adalah 135 pegawai Bank Syariah X. Pengukuran PsyCap dilakukan dengan menggunakan alat ukur Psychological Capital Questionnaire (2007), sedangkan pengukuran kepemipinan otenrik menggunakan alat ukur Authentic Leadership Questionnaire (2008). Hasil analisis statistik korelasi Pearson menunjukkan bahwa terdapat hubungan yang positif dan signifikan antara kepemimpinan otentik dengan PsyCap bawahan pada pegawai Bank Syariah X (r = .33, p < .01, two tailed). Selain itu, ditemukan bahwa skor kepemimpinan otentik berbeda signifikan pada aspek demografis pendidikan. Sementara, skor PsyCap berbeda signifikan pada aspek demografis usia, pengalaman kerja pribadi, pengalaman kerja di perusahaan, serta penghasilan per bulan. Semakin tinggi kepemimpinan otentik maka semakin tinggi pula PsyCap bawahan. Oleh karenanya, perusahaan sebaiknya melakukan usaha pengembangan keterampilan kepemimpinan otentik melalui program intervensi pelatihan.
