Pre-test, post-test and one-month follow-up measurements were conducted using Psychological capital questionnaire（PCQ）and Utrecht work engagement scale（UWES）in both groups.Results①The expert authority coefficient（Cr）of the 2 rounds of expert consultation was 0.905, the positive coefficient was 100%, and the Kendall coordination coefficient was 0.142 and 0.260（P<0.001）. The psychological capital group training program had 6 first-level indicators and 24 second-level indicators. ②After the intervention, the group-by-time interaction between the experimental group and the control group showed that the total scores of psychological capital and work engagement were significantly higher in the experimental group than the control group（Wald Chi-square=60.341, 101.410; P<0.001）.ConclusionGroup training program can significantly improve the psychological capital and enhance work engagement for recruit training squad leadser.}
