The setting of the current study is North Cyprus, a small, unrecognized island with a tremendously developed tourism and hospitality industry flourishing in the last decade. Regarding the methodology, the quantitative approach was adopted, and the convenience sampling method was chosen to get the facts and relations about PsyCap, JS and HPWS among immigrant employees at the hotels of North Cyprus. The data collection tools were questionnaires comprised of three parts, including different items adopted from well-known sources, and there were 400 migrant employees at 18 hotels in North Cyprus. The analysis was conducted via IBM statics covering SPSS and AMOS and included descriptive, factor, and statistical regression analyses. The results reveal that psychological capital has a mediating role between high-performance work systems and job satisfaction of migrant employees in the hotel sector of North Cyprus. Furthermore, the results highlighted the positive impact of psychological capital as almost all of the respondents were more eager to work under equal conditions brought by psychological capital factors.
