Positive Organizational Scholarship (POS) is an umbrella concept
used to emphasize what elevates and what is inspiring to
individuals and organizations by defining the possibilities for
positive deviance rather than just improving on the challenging,
broken, and needlessly difficult. Just as positive psychology
explores optimal individual psychological states rather than
pathological ones, POS focuses attention on the generative dynamics
in organizations that lead to the development of human strength,
foster resiliency in employees, enable healing and restoration, and
cultivate extraordinary individual and organizational performance.
While POS does not ignore dysfunctional or typical patterns of
behavior, it is most interested in the motivations and effects
associated with remarkably positive phenomena--how they are
facilitated, why they work, how they can be identified, and how
organizations can capitalize on them.
This handbook is the first major resource for scholars and
professionals interested in learning about POS. Across 80 chapters,
authors comprehensively review basic principles, empirical
evidence, and ideas for future research relating to POS. They focus
on using a positive lens to address problems and challenges in
organizational life and they draw on POS to expand the domain of
other disciplines including ethics, economics, peace, spirituality,
social movements, and sustainability. This volume is an ideal
resource for organizational scholars, students, practitioners,
human resource managers, and professional associations, with
coverage of the full spectrum of organizational theories and
outcomes that define, explain, and predict the occurrence, causes,
and consequences of positivity.
