Positive Organizational Behavior

by Debra L. Nelson (Editor), Cary L. Cooper (Editor)

Positive Organizational Behavior is emerging as a truly contemporary movement within the classic discipline of organizational behavior.

The best work of leading scholars is gathered together in one edited collection. Chapters present the states, traits, and processes that compromise this exciting new science. In addition to mapping the field, this collection goes one step further and invites noted experts to identify the methodological challenges facing scholars of positive organizational behavior. Positive Organizational Behavior constitutes the study of positive human strengths and competencies, how it can be facilitated, assessed and managed to improve performance in the workplace . Its roots are firmly within positive psychology but transplanted to the world of work and organizations.

[Rat Barrel · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a very scholarly written OB book rooted in positive psychology. Every chapter is written by different scholar(s), many of which are notable in their field. I would highly recommend this for those "serious" about studying OB.

The book provides a very good overview of the whole POB area in a very exploratory way.
