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.
