Positive Organizational Scholarship: Foundations of a New Discipline

by Kim S. Cameron

Positive Organizational Scholarship: Foundations of a New Discipline Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

In helping establish a new field of study in the organizational sciences, POS, this book examines a variety of positive dynamics in businesses and organizations that give rise to extraordinary outcomes. Positive Organizational Scholarship does not adopt one particular theory or framework, but encompasses any phenomenon that leads to positive, nurturing results. This collection of essays, written by established senior scholars, explains why and how these commonsense prescriptions work.

Book News Annotation:

Gratitude and other positive emotions are not generally discussed in regard to organizations. Based on the first conference in this new field held at the U. of Michigan, with which Cameron (organizational behavior and human resource management) is affiliated, contributors to 23 chapters describe empirical and theoretical facets of this emerging discipline focusing on individual and management strengths driving exceptional performance. Includes a 77-page bibliography. Annotation (c)2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Synopsis:

Key Notes- The first book to focus exclusively on the dynamics in organizations that lead to extraordinary individual and organizational performance.- Establishes a new field of study in the organizational sciences- Written by established senior scholars and internationally known authors
