The first edition introduced the newly emerging field called
Positive Organizational Scholarship. Rather than focusing on
organizational dysfunction, Positive Organizational Scholarship
looks at organizations that are functioning at an unusually high
level. Learning from such successful groups about what they did
right forms the backbone of the strategy, because strategies that
capitalize on the positive tend to produce life-giving, flourishing
outcomes in organizations. The four strategies discussed in the
first edition included the cultivation of positive climate,
positive relationships, positive communication, and positive
meaning. Each strategy is explained and illustrated. In this
revised edition, the author will add the following materials:
Chapter 1: Outlining three outcomes associated with positive
leadership and one more example. Chapter 2: Adding some empirical
findings linking attributes of climate with physiological benefits.
Chapter 3: A brief discussion of temporary encounters with positive
or negative outcomes. Chapter 4: Additional research on the results
of the positive-to-negative-communication-ratio. Chapter 5:
Elaboration on the issue of meaningfulness in work. Chapter 6: More
ideas for implementation
