Finally, the volume will serve as a useful tool to inspire ideas for further evidence-based research and intervention design, and for facilitating class exercises, discussions, projects, and more. Readers will also benefit from the inclusion of:
A thorough introduction to positive organizational psychology and research methods commonly used in positive organizational psychology
An exploration of positive psychological states, traits, and processes in the workplace, as well as strength and virtues at work
Practical discussions of flow and work engagement, job crafting, strengths-focused performance reviews, positive organizational capacity building, positive cultural humility, a positive approach to sexual harassment prevention, and positive leadership development
An analysis of positive organizational development and positive human resource practices, as well as workplace well-being, thriving, and flourishing
Perfect for undergraduate and graduate students in psychology programs, Positive Organizational Psychology Interventions will also earn a place in the libraries of practitioners of positive psychology who seek a one-stop reference for the latest developments in positive organizational psychology scholarship.
